The entire poem wrecked me simply because I had one specific period in my collegiate years where this situation happened to me down to the sentence. Her emotions flowingly pour on to the pages in the forms of gems and as you turn each page, each jewel hits you. It doesn’t take her long-winded stanzas and an elite vocabulary to rip your spirit to bits. Kaur is straight to the point with her poetry. What is beautiful about this book is that it showcases the power of words. The accomplishment on its own is worth more than a $100,000 piece of paper.
Hell, just the fact that Kaur self-published her own book while attending university makes me question everything I did during my time in college ( frankly, I did not have time to publish anything because I was incredibly busy, but you get the gist). Self-published by Kaur in 2014 during her time at the University of Waterloo, milk and honey is a collection of poetry split into four chapters containing works straight from her heart. I loved that book so much I knew I had to read the work that has crowned its author the “Queen of Instapoetry.”
(which you can read here) - was similar to milk and honey. The format of the first book I reviewed - truths. It depressed them but allowed reflection and light to enter their spirit in a time of healing. milk and honey ripped my friends to shreds and aided in piecing their broken hearts together. Okay, so maybe not the most positive things, but allow me to give more context about their words. Prior to purchasing and reading milk and honey, I had heard a plethora of positive things about this book from friends of mine.
