Rupi Kaur is a Canadian poet who is most famous for her three connecting books. Rupi Kaur comes from a family that had immigrated from India. It is often shown throughout her books as she learns to heal generational trauma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The healing done in these three books comes from relationship abuse, family problems, self-love and more. The purpose of them is to really learn how to love yourself and others after someone has taught you not to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These books can get quite graphic when it comes to some of its depictions of sex and abuse. It is recommended for a mature audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milk and honey is the first out of the three books. It has four parts: the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The four parts are exactly how they sound. They follow a story of building yourself up after disappointment and trying to find better and only to have it happen again and trying to grow from that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next book is the sun and her flowers. It follows the same type of story as milk and honey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There is five parts to this book are called: wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. It is a beautiful metaphor for how sometimes you have to break completely in order to become truly happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Home body follows a different structure. It is more about the trauma itself than growing past it. This book is much more detailed than the others and is not for the faint hearted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although I highly would recommend home body it should have a trigger warning with it. It could potentially cause some healing setbacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
An interesting part of Kaur\u2019s writing is that none of it is capitalized, and she rarely uses punctuation. It almost feels like she does this because she had previously not had a voice and these topics are often not talked about lightly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These books also often have amazing illustrations next them. They are minimal and often dainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These images can also be quite graphic. If you were to read these be prepared to what you might see during it or what you might thing or feel afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
