“Poems tackling feminism, love, trauma and healing in short lines as smooth as pop music”, New York Times
 
‘Caught the imagination of a large, atypical poetry audience…Kaur knows the good her poetry does: it saves lives”, Evening Standard
 
‘Breathing new life into poetry…It has people reading, and listening”, The Pool

“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 

“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

“Rupi Kaur blazing a trail for new generations to discover verse is a wondrous thing. Her star is shining brightly. A drop of poetry can flood the imagination. It can also ease the mind. Her work is clearly bringing such pleasures to countless readers, mostly younger readers, and that is a cause for celebration for anyone who cares about poetry”, Ben Holden, editor of bestselling anthologies Poems That Make Grown Men Cry & Poems That Make Grown Women Cry

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Rupi Kaur is a top ten Sunday Times-bestselling author and illustrator of two collections of poetry. She started drawing at the age of five when her mother handed her a paintbrush and said, “draw your heart out”. After completing her degree in rhetoric and professional writing, she published her first collection of poems, milk and honey, in 2015, which quickly became an international bestseller. It has since sold over 1.5 million copies worldwide and been translated into over 23 languages.

Her long-awaited second collection continues her exploration with themes of love, loss, trauma, healing, and femininity. Along with writing and illustrating, Rupi has performed her poetry to sold-out audiences across the world.
