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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful, unfiltered poetry
I'm very late to the Rupi Kaur fan club, but I am here to stay!Kaur's poetry is raw and fresh, and it yanked me into its world on the first page. Milk and Honey is broken into four sections of life and love, and the reader travels through heartbreak to loving to living.The first section, hurting, explains how love and pain aren't always separate, and how not knowing how to separate them is what causes skewed perspectives of love beginning in childhood. The unfiltered voice looks at how parents can shape us in the worst ways before we ever see the right ways. The poem that stayed with me is that alcoholic parents don't exist, only parents who couldn't stay sober long enough, and the truth hit me like a brick wall. It's a perspective that needs to be pushed more because it's the only true one.Favorite hurting poems: pages 34 and 39.The second section is called loving, and it shows the first step after hurting, where we find passion and fireworks in our first relationship and think we've found everything we've missed. However, it's usually the calm before the storm. The passionate love tends to involve fighting and fiery make-up sessions, and often, we mistake that for forever love when really it's just a better love than anything else we've been shown, but it's still not a good love.Favorite loving poems: pages 76-77.The third section, breaking, is about realizing you can feel both love for someone and betrayal and it's accepting that both are valid. It's forgiving yourself for having conflicting emotions because those who love us can hurt us. Breaking teaches you what real love is so you know how to recognize it from others and in yourself.Favorite breaking poems: pages 90, 95, 104, 106, and 125.The final section is called healing and it's about balance and boundaries, knowing how much of yourself to give to others only after first giving to yourself. Healing is realizing your worth as a person and taking up space. Healing is knowing you are whole because you exist.Favorite healing poems: pages 154, 159, 165, 178, and 185.The sections flow effortlessly and Kaur's writing is unrelenting and dives into you like a tidal wave. Her writing is unfiltered and a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to read her other collections.
5.0 out of 5 stars Rupi has more bad than good happen in her life as she grew ...
Student review:Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur is a story about a girl and what she goes through as she grows up; Rupi has more bad than good happen in her life as she grew up. It's a fiction book and a lot of her story is about boys and what she goes through to try and find love. She goes through more pain than anything else. I hate reading but every night I actually got really excited to read this book.Milk and Honey is a very good coming of age story because as she grows up she learns what's real and what's fake. Like she used to think that she loved a guy but when she started dating a guy who she actually loved she realized that she didn't actually love the last guy because she saw how real love was really supposed to be. This book has a lot of very inappropriate text with a lot of rape and sex; It's a good book for high schoolers and adults but no younger because she does get raped at one point in the book.At first I thought that this book was really confusing because in the book Rupi Kaur doesn't use any names so you have to keep track of everyone without names. But there's only one or two people she writes about at a time so that makes it a lot easier. If I ever met the author I would have a lot of questions to ask. Like why didn't she have the main character tell anyone that she was being raped? Or why didn't she give any of the characters names? And a lot more. If you are the kind of person who really likes a good book but doesn't have the time for a long book, Milk and Honey is a really good quick read. If you're just going out for a long car ride and you have nothing to do, unless you're the one driving, then buy this book and read it. It only took me a day and a half to read and I wish there were A LOT more books like it.I think that this book should be a book assigned to classes to read instead of a book that most people don't want to read. I think that students would enjoy reading this book a lot more than others that I’ve read in the past. This is a very unique book because of the way it's set up. There are a lot of amazing quotes and there's no other book that I’ve read. There are quotes like, “love is not cruel, we are cruel, love is not a game, we made a game out of love”. This is a very beautiful and amazing book that I think you should read.
5.0 out of 5 stars So good I purchased twice
I purchased this book the first time, and I read the entire thing in one night. The second time I purchased this book was to give it to a friend as a gift. She also loved it. The poetry in this book feels deeply intimate while also covering some incredibly heavy themes of assault. It can be a bit depressing but if you read it the entire way through you’ll feel connected to the writing. Overall, if you're into poetry, this book is a must read.
5.0 out of 5 stars Powerful
What a powerful book for women. To read such a brave portrayal of feelings we all share is truly freeing.
Una de las mejores poetas de nuestros tiempos
Gran libro
Amor eterno!
Eu simplesmente amo a Rupi. Ela expressa as suas dores e amores de uma maneira muito acessível e "relatable". Para todas as mulheres que passam por decepções amorosas, vale muito a leitura!!
Captivating journey
I was longing to read this book for so many years. I mean I don't know why I was procrastinating but now that I've read it finally. It was worth the wait. I loved how Rupi Kaur has expressed such deep and thought-provoking perspective with such grace and subtleties. Its a must read for every women and men who loves their women.
Bellissimo
Non pensavo di appassionarmi così tanto.Avrei voluto che le poesie non finissero mai!
SO GOOD!!!
The BEST poetry book I’ve ever read. Each piece brought me to tears and connected with me so well. The poems tell not only a story but also connect with the reader in a meaningful way. Beautiful book. Have bought it 2 more times as gifts for friends
