and migration
It feels like it’s a therapy, both for Kaur to write and to read and to relate to. Throughout reading these collections I’ve grown a great appreciation for Kaur’s writing and for her willingness to share some of these tough experiences with the world.
I think these are a great entryway into poetry, with a mostly short format of simple stanzas and then the rare more intricate poem that takes up a few pages.
