From Rupi Kaur, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry. A vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing. Ancestry and honoring one’s roots. Expatriation and rising up to find a home within yourself.

Divided into five chapters and illustrated by Kaur, the sun and her flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. A celebration of love in all its forms.

this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

An Amazon Best Book of October 2017: Kaur deftly sidesteps and then punts the stereotypical sophomore slump of bestselling authors, offering a subtle yet powerful volume of poetry to her readers who have clamored for more since the debut of Milk & Honey. Split into five movements—wilting, falling, rooting, rising, blooming—Kaur’s poems glide up from the depths of heartbreak and hurt to embrace the strength and joy that can flower on the other side of hardship. Kaur workshops many of her poems through live readings, and the dedication to her craft vibrates through every phrase. Those who pressed Milk & Honey into the hands of their friends will exult in The Sun and Her Flowers, and Kaur’s expanded wisdom and scope should reel in new readers who will find much that resonates. —Adrian Liang, The Amazon Book Review

I absolutely loved Rapi Kaur's 'Milk and Honey' so I was extremely excited to preorder this book. The books content is different than the first (duh). I don't want to spoil it, but expectations should be set when you order it that it isn't about the same content as the last book. I enjoyed that it was longer, more time to enjoy the wonderful writing❤️

December 1, 2017

I wasn’t sure if Kaur was going to be able to pierce my soul like she did with Milk & Honey but she did it with ease. A journey of self love and raw observations about the world around us.

The only thing I did notice was if you are an advid reader like myself, you probably picked up a lot of similarity from other poets and works. I think we all strive for originality but sometimes it falls short.

I will saw that Rupi Kaur is not for everyone, I know people who worships the ground she walks on and other who loathe her for her writing style.

But that’s the thing about poetry, it doesn’t need to be perfect to be power.

Beautiful, riveting, wonderful...

October 3, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I waited all day for this book to arrive, and the moment it did, I sat down, braced myself for the beautiful art I expect from this author, read for hours until I was done, and was absolutely blown away. Rupi Kaur's poetry will shake you and break you, force you to think, to look in the mirror and reflect, then build you back up again, stronger, better, and wiser. Never before have I read words put together so skillfully and emotionally. I fell in love with Milk and Honey, and with the way this woman uses words. Every single thing she said resonated with me on a spiritual level, wether or not I had experienced those emotions myself. I did not think she could equal Milk and Honey, but The Sun and Her Flowers has blown me away, and more than lived up to my expectations. Man or woman, young or old, anything in between, Rupi Kaur's poetry will teach you lessons you didn't know you needed, give you feelings you didn't know existed, evoke thoughts you never would've thought before, and resonate with you in some way, shape, or form. I highly recommended Milk and Honey, along with The Sun and Her Flowers for any poetry lover, and generally any human being. I am now positive that Rupi Kaur is my favorite poet, and I await the next book excitedly.

This book goes deeper than milk and honey. It touches multiple surfaces lifting all sorts of fresh & sensitive emotions. I one hundred percent recommend this book. I’ve almost ready the whole thing and it has only been out for a day. It’s absolutely breath taking. Amazing job Rupi Kaur.

After reading “milk and honey” last year, I was happy to find out that this poet had just released another poetry collection, this one. Similar to “milk and honey,” “the sun and her flowers” covers themes of love and loss and womanhood and femininity, but in my opinion is a lot less cohesive than m&h as a collection. I think this is because there are a lot more themes covered in this book loosely fitting into one of 5 thematic categories- wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. The poems or thoughts strongly covers the men’s of heartbreak, sexuality, depression, self-acceptance, immigration, romantic love, familial love and understanding, violence and rape, feminism, girl power, aging- basically every and any issue that has anything to do with the female experience.
I did actually really like this collection, just less than m&h because I found that to be more cohesive and organized, whereas this was at times a little “all over the place” within the category chapters. I also at times felt that I had read the first two chapters before somewhat in m&h and it was only once we got towards the end of chapter falling and into chapter rooting that I found the ideas new and powerful. This is not at all to say any of this is bad, but coming off m&h, some of the poems in the early chapters felt a little “young,” a little overly similar to m&h but like m&h got the better versions.
Overall, this is another awesome collection of poems by rupi kaur, I cannot recommend it enough for young (and old) women- it should pretty much be essential reading for anyone over the age of 15 or so.

... about ordering books on Amazon but this was a great experience! The book arrived in perfect condition

November 28, 2017

Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase

I've been skeptical about ordering books on Amazon but this was a great experience! The book arrived in perfect condition. Also much cheaper than it was at other stores. I will continue to order books on Amazon. As for the content itself, if you're in need of some emotional healthing, this is what you need. Some of the poems are very short but they speak to you. You can probably finish this book in one sitting or you can read a few every night to make the book last longer. Very happy with this purchase!

A book every woman should read

April 6, 2018

Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase

I finished Rupi Kaur's "The Sun and Her Flowers" a week ago and am still thinking, no feeling, the emotional impact of it. So many of her poems reflect my own personal life experiences. Fears I felt developing into a young woman to pursuing a male dominated profession to chasing after the beauty I saw portrayed in the media are present in Kaur's poetry. Kaur addresses painful women's issues but also offers solutions. I think this is an unforgettable, beautifully written and illustrated book of poetry that brings women together through their common life experiences. Every woman should read this book.

When I found out my copy of The Sun and Her Flowers came home, I braced myself and set the mood where I just want to be alone with this book. I never felt like I could relate so much to this book. It resonated with all of my emotions. Her poems were intimate yet so intense. It was because of her poetry that kept me from being broken.
