Rupi Kaur's poetry collection offers an accessible yet profoundly moving reading experience. Despite my usual preference for Urdu poetry, I was captivated by her modern and relatable style. The poems addressing themes of heartbreak, family dynamics, and migration resonated with me. Overall, it's a good collection, with an aesthetically pleasing edition that complements the emotive content.
It's true that Rupi Kaur has gained some criticism for her perceived simplicity, with some people considering her work cringy or even untalented. However, I believe there's genuine beauty in simplicity, and not all poetry needs to be elaborate or pretentious to make an impact. Kaur's straightforward style allows her messages to resonate with a broader audience.
Whether you're a seasoned poetry enthusiast or someone new to the genre, there's something in this book that will resonate with you.
