Reviews with content warning for Rape - Milk and Honey

I grew up looking at Rupi Kaur's work all over my social media feeds in middle and high school so I was really excited to finally be able to listen to one of her books. I definitely think that there should be more trigger warnings at the beginning of all books and this one is no exception even if it isn't super graphic imo. As for the poetry itself there were a couple that I liked that were about love or nature. Most of them had to do with what I believe is toxic relationships and abuse in some form that really isn't for me.

This book was an ode to life. A true soliloquy to Kaurs life experiences.

I really enjoyed this and how it was like walking down a path and following her journey. It’s heartbreaking at times, but for me sometimes all too relatable. I think it’s a vital read for others as it meaningfully covers love,loss,trauma,abuse,healing and femininity.

The titles almost brutal. The hurting. The loving. The breaking. And finally the healing. Blunt but a statement, each chapter flowed and was emotive. I think it’s a great entryway to poetry for those who’ve not read it before, but one to be mindful of with how some of its topics can be painful to read.

Not
poetry.
Just words

“art”
Written like this.

With drawings

Such a waste of paper.
