Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur
2.0
Meh….
As someone who’s been wanting to get into poetry for a while, this book was a decent place to start - I liked some of the poems in this collection and I appreciate and agree with some of the messages that she’s trying to convey, however the majority of the poems made me cringe at times and sometimes it just felt like the author was writing random sentences and spacing them out to make it seem more lyrical instead of actual poetry.
Example:
Normal sentence: “ the cat sat on the dark green ugly mat”
Normal sentence combined with the format used in milk and honey:
the
cat sat
on the dark
green ugly
mat
The book on the whole seemed a bit pretentious to me.
At least the pictures inside it are pretty!
