Beautiful, unfiltered poetry

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2023

Verified Purchase

I'm very late to the Rupi Kaur fan club, but I am here to stay!

Kaur's poetry is raw and fresh, and it yanked me into its world on the first page. Milk and Honey is broken into four sections of life and love, and the reader travels through heartbreak to loving to living.

The first section, hurting, explains how love and pain aren't always separate, and how not knowing how to separate them is what causes skewed perspectives of love beginning in childhood. The unfiltered voice looks at how parents can shape us in the worst ways before we ever see the right ways. The poem that stayed with me is that alcoholic parents don't exist, only parents who couldn't stay sober long enough, and the truth hit me like a brick wall. It's a perspective that needs to be pushed more because it's the only true one.

Favorite hurting poems: pages 34 and 39.

The second section is called loving, and it shows the first step after hurting, where we find passion and fireworks in our first relationship and think we've found everything we've missed. However, it's usually the calm before the storm. The passionate love tends to involve fighting and fiery make-up sessions, and often, we mistake that for forever love when really it's just a better love than anything else we've been shown, but it's still not a good love.

Favorite loving poems: pages 76-77.

The third section, breaking, is about realizing you can feel both love for someone and betrayal and it's accepting that both are valid. It's forgiving yourself for having conflicting emotions because those who love us can hurt us. Breaking teaches you what real love is so you know how to recognize it from others and in yourself.

Favorite breaking poems: pages 90, 95, 104, 106, and 125.

The final section is called healing and it's about balance and boundaries, knowing how much of yourself to give to others only after first giving to yourself. Healing is realizing your worth as a person and taking up space. Healing is knowing you are whole because you exist.

Favorite healing poems: pages 154, 159, 165, 178, and 185.

The sections flow effortlessly and Kaur's writing is unrelenting and dives into you like a tidal wave. Her writing is unfiltered and a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to read her other collections.

Poetry is meant for everyone. Words we can find meaning in and relate to. The words of Rupi Kaur are no different. And yet they are different.

They’re beautiful and real and painful and soothing. They’re all of these and so much more.

Take from this what you need and leave the rest for later.

Thank you Rupi Kaur 💚

Good poems

Reviewed in the United States on September 27, 2023

Verified Purchase

Overall a pretty good read. A variety of topics and traumas are covered here. These are deeply heartfelt sentiments and are to be read with emotion and understanding. So many topics are covered that it almost makes me question the authenticity of the experiences being written about - not that it matters greatly. Regardless, a meaningful read and well written by the author.

I read this composition way back in February this year. This was my first attempt in reading the genre- Poetry, and to my expectations, it did surprise me. Though it was a quick read and I finished it within an hour, it was just BEAUTIFUL.

I had read other reviews about this book and I can understand why some people have a different opinion on this. Probably they have read too mean poetry and thus expected it to be something different. But for me, as a reader of poetry for the first time (obviously after school 😛 ), it was wonderful.

This was my first modern poetry so it was little different than I expected the poetry to be. Different in terms of writing, as compared to what we used to read in our childhood. I thought that it would be like having rhyming words at the end of each sentence. A particular subject will be chosen and the poet will try to showcase his/her feelings through rhyming words. But to my surprise, I think the poetry nowadays has changed a lot. Rather than focusing on the rhyming words, they just try to put their thoughts in the form of few short sentences. But whatever the way is, it should capture the attention of readers in the best way possible, and that’s exactly Milk and Honey did.

"i am a museum full of art
but you had your eyes shut"

The book is divided into four parts: “the hurting“, “the loving“, “the breaking” and “the healing“. The author tried to connect with the readers during each stage by showcasing the true feelings that one feels during the heartbreaks and the healing process. Out of all the four sections, the second one- “the loving” was my least favorite(hence one star less), as some of those lines haven’t connected so well to me, as the other ones.

This collection also includes illustrations done by Rupi herself. The doodles are so wonderful and shareable. The writing is simple. It was not hard to understand what does the author wanted to express. You can easily connect to her. There are many lines which seem exactly as your feelings and thus can easily be your favorite, as you can relate easily with them.

The chapters are equally divided into two painful phases and two uplifting phases. This is a different kind of theme which I really liked. In my opinion, it depicts the two phases of life: happy and sad. The core thought of the author behind these verses, is that mishappenings can occur to anyone and we have no control over it. They simply can’t be predicted but we can surely fight them and can learn to live well. However, every bad day has an end and we can see the blessings being converted.

" accept yourself
as you were designed
your body
is a museum
of natural disasters
can you grasp how
stunning that is"

Rupi Kaur brought all my feelings forward. She has included topics such as love, loss, trauma, femininity, heartbreak, healing. These topics are very strong to capture. She has perfectly addressed what it feels like to be broken, to be loved, and to be healed by all on your own.

"I struggle so deeply to understand
how someone can
pour their entire soul, blood and energy
into someone without wanting anything in return
– I will have to wait till I’m a mother"

Isn’t it just beautiful?
I would totally recommend this book to someone, who want to read some different kind of poetry or just wanted to start this genre. These poems will make your heart break and at the same time will make you happy. The poems are filled with positivity and self-love. Rupi Kaur really touched me deeply and I loved her refreshing style and hoping to read more from her in future.
