Editorial Reviews

Review

"At age 24, Rupi Kaur has been called the voice of her generation." (USA Today)

“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

Rupi Kaur is a poet, artist, and performer. Her works have taken the literary world by storm. Her second book, the sun and her flowers—an instant global bestseller, is an artistic sibling to her debut, milk and honey—one of America's bestselling books of 2017.

“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

A breakout literary phenomenon and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Rupi Kaur wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first poetry collection, 'milk and honey' in 2014. Next came its artistic sibling, 'the sun and her flowers' in 2017. These collections have sold more than 10 million copies and have been translated into over 40 languages. Her latest poetry collection, 'home body', debuted #1 on bestseller lists across the world. As she has done from the very beginning, Rupi self- produced Rupi Kaur Live, the first poetry special of its kind, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video in 2021.

Rupi Kaur has also graced the stage across the globe on world tours, performing her poetry across the U.S., Canada, Mexico, the UK, Europe, and more. Intertwined with visuals, music, comedy, and anecdotes, Rupi performs her classic poems and unpublished pieces, tailoring each show to the city she visits.

Rupi’s work touches on love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, and migration. She feels most at home when creating art, performing her poetry onstage, and spending time with family and friends.

Powerful. Poignant. Real and raw.

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 absolutely loved this and will recommend it to everyone who will read it! I connected with almost all of the content in the book and was brought to tears, happy and sad. This was a great read on a road of self discovery and healing and will be forever grateful for the author publishing their experiences.

I love love LOVE this book. I’m not sure why I waited so long to actually read it, but after seeing so many posts raving about it on social media, I caved. I’m soooooo glad that I did. This book is so empowering, but it also makes you very emotional so have some tissues on standby.

I loved this book.

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!

This book was beautiful. It was so much more than I intended it to be. Almost every page resonated with me in a ways I never thought a book could. The writing of this book is so stunning that you have to pause and the, “how the hell did she come up with that”. It has inspired to to give poetry a try after years of putting it off.

Love love love this author…this book is one of her best works…this book is 50% (probably less) about girl power but it’s still good and have great points in them so I would still suggest you get it but if you’re looking for healing books I personally don’t think this one is the one.

So beautifully written. In this time of healing in my life, I needed to read this book. The connection I felt through Kaur's writing about loving so passionately and the healing afterwards sent goosebumps down my body.

CONFUSED

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 23, 2019

Verified Purchase

I'm not easily shocked.
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.

Tolles Buch zum Verfließen mit kleinem Abstrich !

Reviewed in Germany 🇩🇪 on April 8, 2019

Verified Purchase

Ich habe dieses Buch auf Wunsch meiner 13jährigen Tochter (Nebeneffekt das Aufbessern der englischen Sprache) bestellt und möchte nachfolgend Ihre eigenen Worte gerne zusammenfassen.

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 :-)

Super underwhelming

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on May 31, 2018

Verified Purchase

Maybe one in every 20 "poems" is any good. As another reviewer pointedly said, writing common sense short sentences in random spaces without punctuation or capital letters does not make it poetry. It feels more like a collection of my friends' half-arsed Instagram captions...

Not what I expected at all

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 5, 2020

Verified Purchase

I feel like this book is very misleading
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.

Perplexing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 16, 2018

Verified Purchase

I was a bit perplexed about all the hype around this book. Some of the poems, in their simplicity and directness, I found beautiful and sounding "true". But many more were, to me, quite banal and empty. I also felt a bit uncomfortable with how graphic some of them are, but this may be just personal preferences. To me, 2 1/2 stars for this books - halfway.
