challenging dark emotional hopeful fast-paced

4.0

Consent
Self worth 

Identity 

Grief 

War and immigration 

Body 

Abortion/ infanticide 

History and freedom

Empowerment and love
All of these themes were present in this book. All vital. All emotive. All moving. 

Split into chapters aptly named. Wilting. Fallling. Rooting. Rising. And blooming.  Like the life cycle of a flower its pages grow through life’s experiences. 

Kaur just has a way with words that stimulate the brain and this was another great collection from her.  Already leaving me yearning for more ready to delve into the third collection named home body.

A beautiful and emotional read. Takes you on a relatable, remarkable journey. Though you go to some dark places during the ride, you come out the other side feeling different than you did when you started.

dark emotional reflective sad slow-paced

There were some poems that I really enjoyed reading, there is something comforting within the depressing poems.  There were a few that I didn’t care for but the poems seemed blunt and to the point.
