Just like Milk and Honey this book took me on a journey that pushed self reflection and thought. There is something so healing about poetry and Rupi Kaur never fails to fill that need for me.

What a beautiful feminist poetry collection. I loved every moment of it, and I'll just say that I've rarely highlighted and annotated this much in a book before. Simply stunning, super empowering, and truly amazing. I can't wait to own 'Milk and Honey' and read more of Rupi Kaur's poems.

Beautiful and powerful poetry. Rupi Kaur has a way with words that is an absolute treat to read. The comparisons and quotes out of this book forced me to highlight them. There were numerous lines of poetry that i just wanted branded onto me they were so stunning

“i am the ghost of ghosts
everywhere and nowhere”

“i am a world wrapped in worlds folded in suns and moons”

These two lines really made an impression in me I love what they evoke idk. This book was an improvement from milk and honey in my opinion. There are parts where it's repetitive overusing lines and ideas from milk and honey but I liked the immigration themed poems and the ode to immigrant parents in them. Rupi Kaur's poems feel like someone who loves hearing themself talk but at the same time some of her poems drip occasional wisdom and hit close in their simple deepness. They're not as bad as critics say they are. Sometimes you're the intended target audience of the poem and most times you're not but it's up to you to decide when it's that.
