this was a really brave collection to publish in the sense of it being so personal and open about Kaur’s traumas. I don’t think i’m the audience for something like this as unfortunately i found it very repetitive. it was a quick and easy read and it did what it was meant to do - no one goes into a Rupi Kaur book without knowing the kind of poetry she does, which for those who love that style, is brilliant, but it’s not for me. I found some of the pieces incredibly relatable and i really liked the promotion of intersectional feminism throughout the book in such an accessible way. For those wanting super easy and accessible meanderings on life and womanhood this is for you!

I just. WOW. I’ve never been a poetry person but reading Rupi Kaur’s Home Body may just make me one yet. The raw emotion with which she writes is gut wrenching and oh so relatable.
