Description

Rupi Kaur blazing a trail for new generations to discover verse is a wondrous thing. Her star is shining brightly.A drop of poetry can flood the imagination. It can also ease the mind. Her work is clearly bringing such pleasures to countless readers – mostly younger readers – and that is a cause for celebration for anyone who cares about poetry’ Ben Holden, editor of bestselling anthologies Poems That Make Grown Men Cry& Poems That Make Grown Women Cry 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 from 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 I equally love “the sun and her flowers”. The one complaint is that I wanted to buy this book in a hard copy -

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 the illustrations are ABSOLUTELY perfection, I love them so much they add so much depth to the poems.

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. 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. In “wilting,” Kaur laments the loss of a love, writing shamelessly from her most vulnerable place. “i think my body knew you would not stay,” she admits. In the second section, “falling,” her focus moves from the outward loss of love to what is missing inward: “a lot of times/ we are angry at other people/ for not doing what we should have done for ourselves” she writes, and this is a journey that further extends into her past, her family, and her cultural identity in the third section. Kaur, who was born in India and emigrated with her parents to Canada when she was four years old, explores in “rooting” her own roots and the sacrifices her parents made for her family in moving. She writes, “my mother sacrificed her dreams / so i could dream.” 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 ????

This is akin to reading a teenager’s journal. Not that it’s bad, but rather a bit cliche and young. Also, the amount of time it took me to correct the computer and remove punctuation and add breaks in sentences was frustrating... and I’m pretty sure it still didn’t put my quotes as they appear in the book! (That is an explanation point for emphasis.) Me dio mas de lo que esperaba, más positivo, y sensible. No tan crudo como Honey and Milk, pero especial y hermoso. Ceron, Ella.

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” : i learned everything is temporary. moments. feelings. people. flowers. i learned love is about giving. everything. and letting it hurt. i learned vulnerability is always the right choice because it is easy to be cold in a world that makes it so very difficult to remain soft. i learned." Note: There are a few repeated poems from Milk and Honey but much of this material felt very fresh. 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.

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.Titles always just come. It’s not even something I’ve ever had to think about" states Kaur. [1] The author decided to title the book this way just because she felt in love with the way that sunflowers worship with the sun, how they rise with the sun and then they follow the sun around. Kaur explains that was such a beautiful representation of love and relationships: the sun could represent a woman and the flowers could be the relationships that she has through life.

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) 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. Her work touches on love, loss, trauma, healing, feminism, and migration.
