the princess saves herself in this one is the most similar to milk and honey as it draws on her work in terms of style, content and even cover art. It’s even published by the same people! Something to note though is thatthe target audience of this book seems to be considerably younger than that of Rupi Kaur, which does change the tone. i can’t wrap my head around the fact/that i have to convince half the world’s population/that my body is not their bed” Every so often, a book comes along that seems to have a life of its own, that is passed lovingly from one reader to another with recommendations that insist, "You must read this". Rupi Kaur's Milk and Honey is one such book’ Red Magazine

when you are broken/and he has left you/do not question/whether you were/enough/the problem was/you were so enough/he was not able to carry it” Personally, I enjoyed the sun and her flowers even more than Rupi Kaur’s debut because it included more passages about family and immigration, which resonate a little more with me. This collection made me take a good look at myself and reconsider things that affect my everyday relationships that had never crossed my mind before! I recognised myself in the girl she describes and reading this collection made me feel less alone – if that’s not good poetry then what is? If you were a big fan of milk & honey then you’re going to love the sun and her flowers too.This book is divided into five chapters: wilting, falling, rooting, rising, blooming.Kaur’s collections deal with love, loss and femininity in a way that speaks to all who read her works. Nikita Gill forces you to look at these well-known tales through a fresh pair of eyes and it’s an important reminder that things are not always as they seem. The fact that Rupi Kaur has taken up the reins from Angelou in a modern age and is still shouting about these issues today tells a sad story about the “progress” that has been made over the past few decades. She was a phenomenal woman(#poetrypuns), part of the Civil Rights Movement in the XYZs and worked with Martin Luther King Junior and Malcolm X. Themes in Angelou’s poetry include abuse, isolation, feminism, racism and more.

She was writing inspirational poetry long before Rupi Kaur was even born and Angelou passed away the year that milk and honey was published. Rupi Kaur's poetry communicates, distils life. Her success is a simply wonderful thing for poetry. Her work reveals how powerful and accessible poetry can be. It seems to help people too and is a fine example of the healing power of art’ Allie Esiri, editor of four bestselling poetry anthologies and apps It’s one of those topics where whatever you say will be criticised and Shraya’s observations will no doubt resonate with white readers.There are a few pieces of poetry and prose in this collection that didn’t quite fit in with the fairytale theme and also didn’t do much for me, which was disappointing. However, on the whole, this was a thoroughly refreshing read that I would highly recommend to all women. Written by a millennial for millennials, She Must Be Mad by Charly Cox will resonate with other young women trying to figure out how to “adult” in today’s world. Cox uses a mix of prose and poetry to share her experiences growing up and the troubles she had with body image, mental health, relationships and more. This collection is a little like marmite and people seem to either love or hate it.All in all, I think some sections are very poetic, others a bit style over substance. On balance, the princess saves herself in this oneis still well worth a read if you’re interested in exploring modern poetry. It was named Goodreads Poetry Choice Award 2016 so clearly, in the end, its champions defeated its critics. It was followed up with the witch doesn’t burn in this one in 2018. I think we owe Rupi Kaur a lot for making poetry accessible to mainstream readers, young readers in particular, with her debut collection, milk & honey.
