Rupi Kaur's poetry collection offers an accessible yet profoundly moving reading experience. Despite my usual preference for Urdu poetry, I was captivated by her modern and relatable style. The poems addressing themes of heartbreak, family dynamics, and migration resonated with me. Overall, it's a good collection, with an aesthetically pleasing edition that complements the emotive content.

It's true that Rupi Kaur has gained some criticism for her perceived simplicity, with some people considering her work cringy or even untalented. However, I believe there's genuine beauty in simplicity, and not all poetry needs to be elaborate or pretentious to make an impact. Kaur's straightforward style allows her messages to resonate with a broader audience.

Whether you're a seasoned poetry enthusiast or someone new to the genre, there's something in this book that will resonate with you.

challenging dark emotional hopeful fast-paced

4.0

Consent
Self worth 

Identity 

Grief 

War and immigration 

Body 

Abortion/ infanticide 

History and freedom

Empowerment and love
All of these themes were present in this book. All vital. All emotive. All moving. 

Split into chapters aptly named. Wilting. Fallling. Rooting. Rising. And blooming.  Like the life cycle of a flower its pages grow through life’s experiences. 

Kaur just has a way with words that stimulate the brain and this was another great collection from her.  Already leaving me yearning for more ready to delve into the third collection named home body.
