The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur

3.0

---

I loved much about this collection and was also slightly disappointed. I loved the poem that inspired the structure of the book and I thought the blooming section was absolutely beautiful. The other sections seemed slightly hit or miss. There are some absolute gems in here but also some odd notes that didn't resonate with me personally. I was absolutely delighted with kaur's art work in this volumn. In some ways it was more poignant, intriguing and emotive then the poetry. I feel in love with many of her art pieces in this project. For those alone I think this book is worth the read. Modern poetry has it's critics but I have come to enjoy it as it's own genre and kaur has a distinct view and voice I have come to enjoy even if not every poem resonates.
