kcw98 's review for:

The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

---

 

This is a quick read but not a light one. Kaur explores topics like grief, heartbreak, identity, trauma, rape, immigration, and femininity. Some of the chapters were hard for me to get through and overall, Kaur’s style isn’t my vibe. But I’m still glad I read her work and I can appreciate how modern and accessible her poetry is.

Also, there are definitely some gems in this book—her poem “broken english” deserves 5 stars! It’s amazing! Other favs are “my god,” “accent,” and “unibrow.”
