i think kaur is a wonderful poet, i think her experiences and the way she writes about them really give power to the words she writes, but lord. some of these poems just weren't it. they felt like statements, rehashed slogans and phrases i've heard over and over again with no unique take. poetry doesn't to be unique, and poetry can certainly look like this, but i suppose it wasn't really for me.

there were gems in what i considered most of this to be rather uninspired writing wise, though, some poems that i liked, but the numbers are small and quickly dwindled in frequency as the book carried on.

how had i ever convinced myself that rupi kaur is a bad poet? 
this collection is exquisite. 
poetry written in freeverse, and with an accessible language isn't below me, it is still above me. 

rupi kaur deals with a multitude of topics in here, ranging from love, relationships, family, to her personal experiences with abuse and sa, self-hatred, growing out of the toxicity to love herself, culture, immigration, feminism, and a myriad of other political issues that need to be talked about. i am so glad i read this.

There were some poems that I really enjoyed reading, there is something comforting within the depressing poems.  There were a few that I didn’t care for but the poems seemed blunt and to the point.
