milk and honey

Le recensioni online riguardo questa raccolta non si sbilanciano verso nessuna parte, sono tutte o assolutamente positive o, al contrario, completamente negative, e questa cosa mi ha completamente destabilizzata.

Random line breaks and sentence fragments are used because it is what is expected of a poem, but the

While Rupi Kaur seems very passionate and while I agree with her politics, content, and message, that doesn't make this writing very good.

2016 was a year of poetry for me. I read more poetry than I ever have before, I wrote more poetry than I knew I was capable of, and I even started performing poetry.

milk and honey tore through my analytical mind and burrowed deep into my ultra-sensitive soul. It slayed all my emotions, my feminist desires, and my love for vulnerable writing.
