I find myself reading Kaur's poetry at many different stages in my life and I resonate with different poems every time. A good read. An easy read

"Split into four sections dealing with heartbreak, love, healing, and trauma; this book is a modern masterpiece and true celebration of female power. It’s raw, real, and unbearably relatable at times. I just finished it and already feel…

It has it's own place in the genre of poetry. Sure, it can be more like storytelling at times and overly simplified but a lot of what she touches on is food for thought. I have enjoyed its thought provoking nature. More depth and…

Poetry is about using words to elicit imagery and emotion and Kaur does just that. It doesn't matter how many words are in a poem. What matters is what those words mean to you. I thought this was a good book of poems which can be easily…

"Milk and Honey" tells the story of the author's journey through "love, loss, trauma, abuse, healing and femininity". The stories told in each line of this book bring a sense of understanding to the harsh realities women face in today's…

I can see how why so many people loved milk and honey, however upon finishing this book of poetry, I realized quickly that this kind of "Instagram" poetry is definitely not for me. Milk and honey is a collection of poetry discussing…

Beautiful. This poetry collection by Rupi Kaur absolutely stunned me (I’ve already read it twice and am looking forward to reading it more before I return it to the library). Her writing explores relationships we as humans have (like…

Reading this collection of poems was an experience. Kaur’s style is very informal, very short, but very powerful. Her added illustrations often give the lines an intimate, daydreaming quality as if these words were written while sketching…

Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur is a beautifully written book full of well-developed poems. I enjoyed following through the four stages of what seems like a woman’s life, in contrast to almost the five stages of grief. As opposed to completely…

Milk and Honey is written by Rupi Kaur, a powerful and raw author. I enjoyed flipping through this and connecting to the poems and illustrations. I like that she shares her poetry online, that a huge part of why they're successful is…

This is a poetry book full of angst. I like the sentence structure and size of the poems and I like the scribble art work, but the poem content seen to be purely about a breakup and, although teens and twenty-somethings may relate, I found…

Rupi Kaur's "Milk and Honey" incorporates many messages that need to be said, especially in this era. She often references to themes of feminism, abuse, and empowering oneself which is one of my favorite parts of the book. That being…

See: "RebelBelle13" in this thread of comments for the most accurate (and hilarious) review of this book. I couldn't possibly have said it better.

There are many truths in this book that are an empowerment of the Self. "Love Yourself" first, in order to be free to love Life & Others. Rupi Kaur has a talent with words that brings concepts to the forefront in a few words and lines.…
