Am I reading this book bc my reading challenge is getting a little out of control??? Psshshhhhh no, of course not why would you think something so preposterous ???? Every so often, a book comes along that seems to have a life of its own, that is passed lovingly from one reader to another with recommendations that insist, "You must read this".Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honeyis one such book’ Red Magazine

This long-awaited second collection of poetry by Rupi Kaur made waves; it was a ride brimming with of every kind of emotion imaginable. Divided into five chapters and illustrated by Kaur, the sun and her flowers is 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. Through those sections (“wilting,”“falling,”“rooting,”“rising,” and “blooming”) Kaur takes the reader along on what could be interpreted as an individual journey of loss and renewal, but because of the accessibility of her story, ends up being a testament to the universal resilience of the human heart. It is, in many ways, a unique echo of every beautiful death and resurrection story ever told. From Rupi Kaur, the bestselling author of M ilk and Honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry. Illustrated by Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowersis a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. It is a celebration of love in all its forms. At first, the book was supposed to look a lot different: it was going to be a true chapter book in which the first chapter would have been the darkness and it would have taken the readers through the experience of an unhealthy love taking into account what that makes a person feel and how that defines a person’s lens. The second chapter would have been the light and it would have been about a healthy relationship and what was it like. However, Kaur was not really inspired about it because she was writing about death and immigration whereas she wanted to talk about love. Finally Kaur decided to write whatever feeling that was coming to her mind. [6] Publication and reception [ edit ]Let me start off by saying that I am not a fan of Rupi Kaur's milk and honey; HOWEVER, being the forgiving person that I am, I have decided to give her work a second chance.

I love a lot of the concepts that are talked about. Love and acceptance and liberty and compassion, I think the author covered a whole lot of topics and translated them into such beautiful, beautiful, beautiful words like wow give me that talent lady where did you get it fromI loved all the lines except for the fact that it gave a hint about acceptance to be in an abusive relationship. Yet the last three sections made up for the brokenness of the character described in the first two sections. Walker, Rob (2017-05-27).
