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.

There were some poems that I really enjoyed reading, there is something comforting within the depressing poems.  There were a few that I didn’t care for but the poems seemed blunt and to the point.

This is Rupi's take on her mom's experience as an immigrant. Really impacted me because as someone who's second language is English I really felt like I could relate to the pages on that book. I think its the book I've related to most in my life so there's that.

What a beautiful feminist poetry collection. I loved every moment of it, and I'll just say that I've rarely highlighted and annotated this much in a book before. Simply stunning, super empowering, and truly amazing. I can't wait to own 'Milk and Honey' and read more of Rupi Kaur's poems.
