I thought I was going to have to wait until I moved back to the US to get this book, but luckily a friend of mine here in Spain has family near my hometown that she went to visit during the Christmas holidays so I convinced my mom to get Home Body for me and drop it off with her so she could bring it to me! Like Kaur's other poetry collections, Home Body deals with themes of feminism and womanhood, sexual assault, depression, and community. Usually I really like her short poems for their simple, direct beauty (and my favorite of this book was a short one on page 26), so I was surprised how much I loved her longer poems in this collection.

I devoured this. It’s really a book that should be savoured. Don’t think one read will be enough though. This is now my go to poetry, Rupi and pick me up book. LOVED IT.

dark emotional hopeful inspiring reflective sad medium-paced

I didn't like most of her old books but this one shows how much she's grown, how she's become more confident and daring. I personally enjoyed the first part of the book which went into kind of gruesome detail about her abuse and depression.
