The poetry was good, as excepted from Rupi Kaur. I didn't expect to be slapped in the face with so much sadness though. I appreciate the author's raw and personal poems about traumatic experiences, but I just wasn't prepared for something that sad, after reading her two other books. Still a nice read. Some poems were absolutely excellent and others were just okay.

 Home Body is divided into four sections and explores themes like- depression and anxiety, romantic relationships, the problem with productivity, racism, sexism, misogyny, inclusive feminism, self-love and female friendships. I find Kaur’s poetry to be very accessible and this volume was no exception. Many of the poems were extremely short and some felt like fragments or motivational messages. I was able to listen to this on audio while reading the ebook, which is a great way to experience poetry. Seeing the words and hearing them simultaneously seems to increase their power. In this case the different formats had different strengths. The e book let me enjoy the formatting and Kaur’s quick sketches, while the audio, narrated by Kaur, included some bonus poems as well as a foreword by the poet which provided valuable context but which wasn’t included in the ebook.

 Love Rupi! This was a quite challenging read, with lots of triggers - but I really enjoyed it, and could relate to some of the poems.
