While just as good of a read as Kaur's previous and more well-known collections, home body is much more graphic and intense, more heavily handling the author's darker and more uncomfortable experiences and trauma. The collection maintains the author's beautiful and unique illustrations and poetry style. It is not without hopefulness, insight, and inspiration, but certainly a dark and mildy uncomfortable read for those more sensitive to certain topics.
Due to the short length and quick topic-changes of her individual poems, this collections is a quick read if you enjoy rushing through content, but perhaps best enjoyed slowly with contemplation and in small doses.

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.
