All of these themes were present in this book. All vital. All emotive. All moving.

Split into chapters aptly named. Wilting. Fallling. Rooting. Rising. And blooming. Like the life cycle of a flower its pages grow through life’s experiences.
Kaur just has a way with words that stimulate the brain and this was another great collection from her. Already leaving me yearning for more ready to delve into the third collection named home body.

The Sun and Her Flowers is the second poetry collection released by Rupi Kaur.
I thought this was a really interesting poetry collection and I enjoyed the poetry that was in this book. I think poetry is such a personal thing that it's hard to rate things like this after reading them. I thought the way this poetry collection was structured was really interesting and I really loved seeing how the poems connected together. I thought the ones about relationships was really interesting and I did highlight a few of those.
I also enjoyed the fact that she focused on the topic of immigration and what it was like for women who came from other countries to these new ones and tried to make a better life for their children. I liked seeing the experiences she talked about and feeling like I was learning a bit.
I am glad I decided to pick this up on a whim as I found it an interesting poetry collection. I would say that if you are interested in this, it's worth a read and it is a pretty quick read.
