Wonderful pulls you in the same as her first poetry work! Truly beautiful modern poetry of finding peace, talking about her roots and about women of color. You can feel her heart and soul being poured into the work.

Absolutely gorgeous!

Beautiful book

Beautiful book that shares so many different emotions. If you're feeling down or like life is difficult, read it. Promise that it's worth it

I’ll be honest, poetry really isn’t my thing. I adore reading and writing. I adore lyrical stories and watching words flow together. Yet there’s something about poetry that’s never really spoken to me.

That’s why I went into this book with an open mind. Not every book is for everyone, and that’s okay. I’ve heard nothing but good things about Kaur’s poetry, so I thought this would be a good read to try and take myself out of my comfort zone. I found some poems that I enjoyed, and some that I didn’t. I tried treating this book like an anthology of short stories (okay, very short stories), and I think for me that helped.

I can’t say that I’m going to go out of my way to read a bunch of poetry after this, but it hasn’t fully turned me off, either. And that’s high praise from me in regards to poetry. (I can see my English teachers shaking their heads in dismay.)
