The Sun and Her Flowers: Rupi Kaur

Product Information

This burst of creative output in the world of popular poetry reminds me of the Twilight phenomenon that pushed the young adult genre onto many a reading list many years ago. However, a close analysis reveals it to be a haunting evocation of issues such as female infanticide and racial diaspora, departing Kaur’s reputation from merely tumblr-girl aesthetic to an ethereal goddess of social justice. The choice of social media as a platform for her poetry has amassed a fierce dismissal by sceptics, since two-liners such as ‘on the last day of love/my heart cracked inside my body’ seem targeted at the mass reposting of uninspired scrollers.

It said, "Even if you like her, these little jabs at her plaintive voice are spot on: one of Kaur’s actual poems muses "If you are not enough for yourself/you will never be enough / for someone else" and, while that gained 175,000 likes on Instagram, it has the air of the slurred advice you might overhear at the back of a Wetherspoons. The poems often lack titles and distinctive boundaries between each work; they can be read individually or as sequences.Under federal law, if you knowingly misrepresent that online material is infringing, you may be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury and civil penalties, including monetary damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees. i learned vulnerability is always the right choice because it is easy to be cold in a world that makes it so very difficult to remain soft. Divided into five chapters and illustrated by Kaur, the sun and her flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming. 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. After self-publishing her first poetry collection, Milk and Honey, Kaur signed a two-book deal with Simon and Schuster.
