Turn to the last page of Milk and Honey, and you will find the "about the book" section which reads:
"Milk and Honey is a collection of poetry about love, loss, trauma, abuse, healing, and femininity. It is split into four chapters. 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 willing to look."
Rupi Kaur certainly delivers. Each page, every poem, made a connection. I cried. I laughed. I sympathized. I exclaimed. When it was all over, I sighed. This is the book I wish I had navigating life as a teenage girl; it is a book I am grateful to have found as a young woman. Milk and Honey is something to be appreciated for its honesty, boldness, and ability to reach the reader in his/her most tender places.
For me, personally, I am a better writer for having embarked on this "journey of surviving through poetry." It took me back to the place I travelled to with Dr. Maya Angelou's And Still I Rise, and I was a delighted reader. For all lovers of poetry and anyone who desires an artistic rouse, Milk and Honey is a must read.
