The Sun and Her Flowers: Rupi Kaur

Product Information

Rupi’s collections of poetry, milk and honey and the sun and her flowers, have sold millions of copies and been translated in over 42 languages. The poetic style is quite simplistic and some quotes I felt like were reworded versions of things I've seen before.

the sun and her flowers appeals mainly to a young audience who may have first become acquainted with Kaur’s work on Instagram, the social media site where many of her poems, including those in the sun and her flowers, were first published. I loved all the lines except for the fact that it gave a hint about acceptance to be in an abusive relationship. If you have a friend trying to put their life back together after a break up this book will help them focus on the path they need to take. Anyways, I could go on and on about how much her work mirrors the work of lesser-known authors, but I think most readers already know this. The Sunday Times review described the book as "alluding repeatedly to the personal damage of growing up in a world of abusive men, while being full of determination to recover.This book adds on an entire section about immigration and refugees, and I thought it was new and powerful as opposed to only talking about feminism, the body, and self-love. She attempted to begin the new book's journey for months, but nothing she wrote satisfied her expectations. But my present day self has matured and moved on from teenage/college-age angst, so I think I've outgrown this type of sentimental writing. Her long-awaited second collection of poetry is a vibrant and transcendent journey about growth and healing. Most recently in 2022- she released her 4th book ‘Healing Through Words’ which is a journey of guided writing exercises to help the reader explore their creativity.

It's not a style I enjoy at all, and the entire book just felt too Tumblr and cheesy and simplistic. Kaur has nearly four and a half million followers on Instagram, and many of her poems receive hundreds of thousands of “likes. This 12-month planner comes with space for you to document your dreams for the year, organize your months and weeks, create a vision board with stickers and washi tape, reflect on the year, and so much more. The Guardian review quoted poems from Kaur's collection and explained how simplistic the language often is.

The novel mainly sold with the YA age group whereas many of the poems are written about topics such as heartbreak and rebuilding yourself after. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. However, Kaur was not really inspired about it because she was writing about death and immigration whereas she wanted to talk about love. 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.

Definitivamente leeré más de sus libros, pues su estilo, dentro de la poesía, es bastante único y crudo. Listen, as a brown woman of course I gave Rupi a try - that's what we brown girls do, we hold each other up and support each other like crazy because who else will? En conclusión: Si eres una mujer de color, seguro encontraras al menos un poema con el que te sentirás completamente identificada, y si eres cualquier otra persona te recomiendo muchísimo más que lo leas, ya que te permitirá ver lo que una mujer que ha pasado por este tipo de situaciones siente y quizá logres ver la vida y el mundo en general desde otra perspectiva. As a 21-year-old university student Rupi Kaur wrote, illustrated and self-published her first poetry collection, milk and honey. 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.Patrick for CBC in November 2021, Kaur said that as a child, her favorite books included theHarry Potter series, Ender’s Game(by Orson Scott Card), and The Chrysalids (by John Wyndham). Rupi Kaur has again delivered a palpable collection of perspective on varying issues of significance that range from love to heartbreak and all the things in between. El libro está separado en 5 diferentes temas, mi favorito fue rooting, creo que es el más intenso, toca el tema de los refugiados, la inmigración con el que me sentí muy identificada.

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.Just adding my unwanted two cents and personal preference here, but I would have been good had she stopped after 'and the bees growing jealous'. Because of that, it was hard to tell sometimes when one poem ended and another begun because none were punctuated, some didn’t have titles, some were just one sentence, etc.
