I'm going to admit this right now: I really wasn't expecting to like Milk and Honey that much. Short little poems aren't really my thing. However, I was impressed with Rupi Kaur's work. It was short but powerful and the illustrations definitely added to its impact. I do think that these poems work best as a collection because when I looked back at the individual poems I highlighted, none of them seemed that impressive...yet as a whole, I felt like they worked well together.
I don't think Milk and Honey is for everyone. You know when people look at a piece of contemporary art and say, "Hey, this is so simple! I could have made it!" and the response is "Well, you didn't make it." That's kind of how I felt with the writing style. It wasn't particularly earth-shattering and certainly didn't feel unique, but I appreciated the feelings it evoked in me.

The healing part was very beautifuly written. I can’t relate to the theme as much as I’d like but the poems are truly touching and there’s such a beautiful message hidden within them🫶
