A review by dustilane
Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
5.0
This is not a poetry book for you lovers of sonnets and technicalities (though I seem to love these too). Many of these poems aren't even really poems, just couplings of words on a page. HOWEVER, it works.
Each word seemed to be painted with the writer's own blood. That's how much her emotion ran into the page. Each poem dripped with Kaur's experiences and emotions. God. I fell so much in love with this book and this writer. This book covered so many topics: rape, sexuality, love, femininity, heartbreak, family, and more. There are triggering things in there, so some may want to stay away. But in general, I highly recommend this read. Especially for young women, such as myself.
