Description

and I equally love “the sun and her flowers”. The one complaint is that I wanted to buy this book in a hard copy -

As per her usual style, the poems are direct, simple, easy to grasp and full of passion. There are underlying layers and raw thoughts and emotions beneath those words that have me wanting to savour it, reread it. Annotate the whole book and find my own meaning within it. The illustrations truly make it come to life and paint a vivid picture and emotion inside you. Ceron, Ella.

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 ] it’s interesting to see how her writing has grown and evolved. there are very few short poems (unlike m&h), which i was thankful for, because in m&h it seemed like she would just write sentences with skips in it, then label them poetry, and i really hated that style. however, this utilized a lot of longer poems and metaphor and personification of nature, and although it’s still not my favorite style, it’s gotten so much better.

It is nice to see a young Canadian poet establish herself--don't get me wrong! And my heart goes out to Ms. Kaur after reading about some of the horrific situations she underwent. That being said, I still think her work is overhyped and resembles little fluffs of nothing. If you enjoyed this then no hard feelings. But no more chances and no more modern poetry for me. I mean it. (that's probably a lie) El poema más triste fue el de feminicidio de bebes, fue completamente shokeante porque nos gusta pensar que esto no pasa cerca de nosotros, que este tipo de cosas tan horribles pasan en pueblos lejanos, pero cuando dice que esto pasa aquí en la ciudad donde vivo, a mujeres con las que me cruzo en la calle, no pude evitar derramar varias lágrimas. Los poemas más vehementes fueron todos donde nos habla de su madre, algunos son de esperanza, anhelo, inclusive hay uno sobre como ella daría su vida con tal de cambiar lo que su madre tuvo que vivir. Rupi Kaur does it once again. Her poetry is blooming. Her words hit home as they always do. I mean, there's a reason why there's a surge in poetry books being sold now. She's the reason. It is a message that will resonate with anyone who has read through the sun and her flowers , because I suspect Kaur is not only speaking of her unborn daughter, but of the rebirth she is encouraging in each of her readers by laying bare her own.The author's smart, poised, and down-to-earth writing oozes inspiration. And I'm beyond eager to share some of my favorite pieces: And dream she does. While Kaur is able to speak and often stun from her scars in a way that might make the average person blush, she has a way of doing so where she never comes across as weak. On the contrary, her quiet strength shines through even her darkest words, as she writes, “ there is god in you / can you feel her dancing,” foreshadowing the rise she makes through the last two sections of the anthology, “rising” and“ blooming.” In fact by “blooming,” Kaur is unapologetically in love with herself and her life and already thinking forward to the next cycle of life that will occur when she gives birth to her own children, perhaps best exemplified in this poem and its accompanying drawing, which Kaur signs as an “ode to raymond douillet’s a short tour and farewell” : Walker, Rob (2017-05-27).

The Sun and Her Flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. It is a celebration of love in all its forms.

Caught the imagination of a large, atypical poetry audience...Kaur knows the good her poetry does: it saves lives’ Evening Standard I loved all the lines except for the fact that it gave a hint about acceptance to be in an abusive relationship. to

Some parts of this, like the things she wishes she could have told her mother on her wedding day and insights on immigration were thought provoking, but much of this felt like thoughts I’ve read many times elsewhere.
Here are three examples of that:
you do not just wake up and become the butterfly

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 It's over, finished, done, finito, caput. Welp, that was definitely better than milk and honey. NOT! But in all honesty, none of her poems really left an impression on me. There were a few "poems" that I liked, but I've already forgotten them. Also, I thought this collection was meant to empower women? Majority of her poems came across as emotionally insecure and overly clichéd. Note: There are a few repeated poems from Milk and Honey but much of this material felt very fresh. Yet the last three sections made up for the brokenness of the character described in the first two sections.For all them haters who are like “these are just relatable tumblr posts that someone pressed the enter key too many times” well yes, you’re right BUT THEYRE BEAUTIFUL TOO Anyways so I read Milk and Honey last year and I sorta loved it and when I HEARD there was another one I was like yes this woman can write gimme some more
