The author gave you love poems heartbreak poems and everything in between. I loved it and can't find a single thing I would change about this book. I loved the authors use of metaphors and description it wasn't over done so you lost her messages it was just enough to give it that beautiful touch. Some happy some sad and they didn't rhyme so you really got to experience them how you saw, not how they were told to you. The best part about thisįor me was the fact that while the poems all fit together to tell the story of her being but they were all different, Life and there is a bit about assault and rape that might not be for everyone in the middle. They showed the highs and lows of the poets
And while each poem wasĭifferent they fit together to form one large story of the poets life. Most of them because they dealt with a lot of strong and powerful messages. While some of them are better than others I really enjoyed
This book is a book of many different poems. Would recommend for: I’ve only glimpsed at Rupi Kaur’s writing in bookstores, but I have a feeling you might enjoy this if you like her poetry! I would LOVE to see a poetic piece of fiction from her… maybe a novel told in verse?Īll in all, a beautiful, heartbreaking read that I would love to have on my shelf as well. I’d be interested in reading more from this author, and I don’t think she gives herself enough credit when she says (in the introduction) that she cannot write fiction. The heartbreak parts were occasionally truly hard to read, but I am grateful to the author for including them as they really made me feel something. I thought the book was beautifully constructed, and the last part (Heal) was my favorite. This is the book for the curious, the dreamers, and the struggler’s, those who carry an insatiable urge to grow and the knowledge that life offers more for the fearless explorers of the unknown this book speaks to the aching soul that lives in all of us.What a beautifully written poetry collection, with gorgeous drawings too! I haven’t read a poetry collection in possibly ever, and this was a great glimpse at the modern poetry we’re getting from great minds today.
