This was a beautiful read and my favorite from Rupi 's works I could relate to these prices a lot more than the others. I felt heard and understood, and I couldn't ask for any thing more I really appreciate the rawness and delicacy in every word. Thank you so much Rupi!!! I cannot wait to read your future work!

*2.5 Me gustó, especialmente por los temas que trata, pero comparto la opinión de otros lectores acerca de que es un poemario muy similar a sus obras previas.

I don't read poetry. I read Kaur's previous poetry collections about three years ago and enjoyed them and when I heard she had a new collection I knew I would pick it up. I dog-eared over 40 pages, and those were the poems that really resonated with me. Although most of the poems are short and succinct (phrases, really) they are really powerful. Happy to have this in my library and will probably pick up another poetry collection this year to see if I'm enjoying the format or if it's only Kaur's work that I find interesting.

Kaur is back at it with another powerful collection of poems. I always find at least one or two that resonate with me, but this one had fewer of those than her previous collections. Perhaps I am not so lucky and have not learned to love myself with the passion that Kaur has yet and maybe that's why.
I also feel that compared to her other collections, Home Body is more narratively disjointed. It feels very much like two, perhaps even three, distinct books. I found myself lingering less with this one, and while I enjoyed it I feel that it doesn't quite measure up to the other two.

• Mind: 2 estrellas. No me gustaron los poemas de este capitulo, si bien la temática me parece genial porque la depresión es algo con lo que me siento identifica y me encanta que se hable del tema y no sea tabú, los poemas fueron muy sencillos y desordenados, no parecían poesía.
• Heart: 3 estrellas. Hubo varios poemas que me gustaron, principalmente los que son empoderantes y te recuerdan que una mujer no necesita a un hombre. Un problema particular que tengo con los libros de Rupi es que habla mucho de sus experiencias en relaciones románticas tóxicas y eso es algo con lo que no me identifico porque nunca he estado en una.
"if you are waiting for them to make you feel like you are enough you'll be waiting a long time."
"A man can't give me anything I can't give myself"
• Rest: 2,5 estrellas. Me gustó mucho el poema sobre su papá, la cruda realidad se los inmigrantes. No estoy demasiado de acuerdo con todas las críticas que le hace al capitalismo y al consumismo, después de todo su libro esta siendo vendido en todo el mundo y seguramente va a estar en el top de ventas.
• Awake: 3,5 estrellas. Mi capítulo favorito. Poemas cargados de empoderamiento y feminismo. No le pongo una calificación más alta porque sentí que algunos poemas estaban demás y varios no tenían mucho sentido.
"no one on this planet
is in more denial
than the white man
who regardless of all
the evidence in front of him
still thinks racism and sexism
and all the world’s pain don’t exist"
"what a privilege it is
to grow into the
finest version of myself"

A powerful collection of poems that I’m sure will stay with me for a while. Now I shall read the rest of her works.
