Product Information

Sparse line drawings accompany her poems. [11] [80] They have been compared to outsider art; her drawings and poetry have seen allusions to childhood artistry. [81] [82] [83] The National Poetry Library noted that the art in Milk and Honey, functions like a graphic novel. [84] The style of drawing continues in The Sun and Her Flowers. [85] Her illustrations, juxtaposed with the poems, are "striking" and "often disturbing", with one, for example, linking self-harm with despair. [80] [86] Images that appear in her work include twisting bodies, crawling flowers, and fingers forming the shapes of hearts. Kaur explained that her style is intended to be recognisable and evoke a brand, akin to Apple's. [80] She creates them following their respective poem being written. [46] Since its inception, Kaur's public image has been denoted as authentic and individual; spiritual and boldly feminist. [87]

Alongside her peers – Nayyirah Waheed, Lang Leav, Warsan Shire – and other " Instapoets", Kaur's plainspoken and free verse poetry is delivered in a "bite-size" manner – some poems only composing of one line. [47] [88] With The Sun and Her Flowers, her poems expanded their length. [63] "[W]ith its epigrammatic brevity, plain language, and empowering messages", Kaur's poetry has been said to be emblematic of the common "Instapoet" style. [89] Kaur, who dislikes the term "Instapoet", has also been said to belong to a "new generation of migrant writers, a generation who 'sits-in, tweets, posts and broadcasts'". [90] [91] She has been said to be possibly the "representative of an entire generation's values and ethos". [12] She differs from her peers in her focus upon self-care and depiction of pain as intertwined with triumph. [14] Kaur has said that she writes for "the generation that's reading my work...I am writing something that is believable to that generation". [80]

When I began writing poetry, I could read and understand my mother tongue (Punjabi), but I hadn’t yet developed the skill set to write poetry in it. Punjabi is written in either Shahmukhi or Gurmukhi script. Within the Gurmukhi script, there are no uppercase or lowercase letters. The letters are treated the same. I enjoy this symplicity. It’s symmetrical and straightforward. I also feel there is a level of equality this visuality brings to the work.

There is a hasty feeling to this book, the sense of someone fretfully and fitfully sitting in a room for a few nights, hashing it out. Later in the book, Kaur exhibits some self-awareness on this front, writing “your rushing is/ suffocating the masterpieces.” Many of the poems do feel rushed. The old themes could have been let go, or given more time to mature. The new themes perhaps needed more time to develop. There’s a “work in progress” feel to this book, but perhaps that is its charm.

TRANSPARENCY....i feel that rating poetry is a very touchy line to run your finger across. The art doesn't judge itself, people judge the art. So with that being said I believe Homebody deserves a five star rating. Rupi Kaur just wrote another book that reflects her own unique experience in life.
