Editorial Reviews
Review
“Rupi Kaur has vision beyond her years … Her work is simply but powerfully expressed, and viscerally captures both universal human experience and the particular struggles of a young woman today." (Huffington Post)
Rupi’s poetry is simple, relatable, gorgeous, and grounded in the everyday experiences of young women. (Rachel Grate, Hello Giggles)
"A must-have poetry collection about healing and hope." (Bustle)
Rupi Kaur's first book, Milk and Honey is the poetry collection every woman needs on her nightstand or coffee table. Accompanied by her own sketches, the beautifully honest poems read like the everyday, collective experiences of today's modern woman. (Erin Spencer, Huffington Post)
“Discussing themes of love, loss, and healing, Milk and Honey finds a way to connect to every reader. “ (Business Insider)
"Milk and Honey brings any tormented reader to an enlightened state of self-reflection that may have taken years to accomplish alone.”
(Elite Daily)
The honest words of Rupi Kaur leave you continuously wanting more as she writes with eloquence and poise. Her work will send you to past thoughts and realities you might not have known you had.
(Sienna Brown, WildSpice Magazine)
Rupi Kaur’s writing echoes of artistry and wisdom which is seen in the work of those that have been writing for years. (Samira Sawlani, Media Diversified)
About the Author
“i am the product of all the ancestors getting together and deciding these stories need to be told.”
Rupi sees her work as an articulation of this vision. She’s an eternal artist. At the age of five, her mother handed her a paintbrush and said, “draw your heart out.” At seventeen, she happened upon a local open mic night where she performed her first spoken word poem. She fell in love with performance poetry that night. Rupi continued performing across Canada, while building a community of readers and poetry enthusiasts. While studying at the University of Waterloo, Rupi wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first collection, milk and honey. In the years since, milk and honey has become an international phenomenon. It’s sold over 3 million copies, been translated into more than 35 languages, and landed as a #1 New York Times bestseller—where it has spent more than 100 consecutive weeks.
“i am the first woman in my lineage with freedom of choice. to craft her future whichever way i choose. say what is on my mind when i want to. without the whip of the lash. there are hundreds of firsts i am thankful for.”
Rupi explores a variety of themes in her work ranging from love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, migration, and revolution. She’s a storyteller and chronicler—a repository of community and history. There’s a simplicity and nuance to her work that has found a home in the hearts of millions. This magic is captured in her stage performances, which are magnetic musical interactions of poetry, art, and theater. Rupi's long-awaited second collection, the sun and her flowers, was published in 2017 and debuted as a #1 global bestseller. Within the first three months it sold a million copies and was embraced by readers worldwide. She’s a Forbes 30 under 30, an editor of the 2016 Mays Literary Anthology of New Writing from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge, and one of BBC’s 100 Women. Rupi hopes to continue her artistic exploration through art and poetry—searching for ways to understand and articulate.
i stand
on the sacrifices
of a million women before me thinking
what can i do
to make this mountain taller so the women after me
can see farther

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Some words hit home, others made me stop and think. And quite a few made me hit pause to let them sink right in.
I listened to the audiobook, which was narrated by the author herself. I believe by doing that, it made it easier for me to absorb than if I’d read it. Made it more thought-provoking.
Flipping through my ebook copy, I see there are illustrations. I look forward to experiencing this book again while seeing those illustrations as I read the words. I’m positive when I buy the paperback copy and reread this, it’ll be even more emotional.
I don’t normally read poetry, but I’m sure glad I gave this book a chance.
I ended up marking pages of what I felt I could
Relate to and then passed it to my friends to do the same so that we could have an amazing conversation about life, love and pain!

My main concern is that this book if being promoted by someone on you tube aimed at 12/13/14 year olds.
I do not consider this modern poetry.
As someone who has worked with adult surivors I would say this is not suitable reading let alone for a teenager.

Die Gedichte in diesem Buch sind wunderschön geschrieben und gehen einem wirklich ans Herz, regen zum Nachdenken an und werfen Fragen sowie Zweifel auf. Es werden zugleich viele Emotionen geweckt die einen wirklich auch fesseln weiterzulesen, die Schriftstellerin Rudi Kaur hat Ihre geschriebenen Zeilen wirklich gut bedacht und auch verständlich geschrieben, dennoch mussten wir stellenweise die sinngemäße Übersetzung googeln :-)
Einziges Manko an diesem Buch ist, das sehr viele Seiten nur mit ein paar Wörtern beschrieben sind (siehe Bilder), daher 1 Stern Abzug in der Wertung. Wahrscheinlich wurde das auch bewusst so gemacht, jedoch gefällt uns das nicht so gut.
Generell würden wir eine Kaufempfehlung aussprechen und es wohl auch wieder kaufen!
Mit der Lieferung durch Amazon war alles perfekt, das Buch in NEU Zustand und in Umverpackung geliefert.
Sollte unsere Rezession für EUCH hilfreich gewesen sein, so würden wir uns freuen, wenn Ihr einen Klick auf den NÜTZLICH Button machen würdet :-)

When the book arrived I thought it looked lovely. However I then went on and started to read the book and was very shocked by the contents. Quite graphic, uncomfortable “short stories“ or “quotes” whatever you want to call them.
I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for nice quotes or a positive read. I bought a book about self-love and this was on the recommended list.
