Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur

Milk and Honey

by Rupi Kaur

#1 New York Times bestseller Milk and Honey is a collection of poetry and prose about survival. About the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity.

The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose. Deals with a different pain. Heals a different heartache. Milk and Honey takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look.

words in this book
read like thoughts
many of us once penned
in our diaries
but would have
never dreamed
of calling poetry

- one star


to be fair
words alike
thoughts familiar
experiences parallel
resonate even
in the absence of form
so half star more
