1.Her debut book, a collection of poetry and prose titled Milk and Honey, was published in 2014.[1]
Her second book, The Sun and Her Flowers, was published in 2017. Both of these books contain
images, drawn by Kaur and others to help the reader associate a picture with each poem.
2.Career

Kaur's first performance took place in 2009 in the basement of the Punjabi Community Health
Centre in Malton.[3] Among her more notable works is her photo-essay on menstruation, described
as a piece of visual poetry intended to challenge societal menstrual taboos.[7]
Throughout high school, Kaur shared her writing anonymously. In 2013, she began sharing her
work under her own name on Tumblr. She took her writing to Instagram in 2014 and began adding
simple illustrations. She went from having several followers to gaining over a million on Instagram,
helping her reach audiences outside of the United States. This led to her book Milk and Honey to be
translated in to 25 languages.[8] As in Gurmukhi script, her work is written exclusively in
lowercase, using only the period as a form of punctuation. Kaur writes this way to honor her
culture. She has said that she enjoys the equality of letters and that the style reflects her worldview.
[3] Her written work is meant to be an experience that is easy for the reader to follow, with simple
drawings to elevate her words.[9] Common themes found throughout her works include abuse,
feminiity, love, self-care and heartbreak.

3.Publications
Kaur's first book, an anthology titled Milk and Honey (stylized as milk and honey), was published
on November 4th, 2014.[11] Her inspiration for the book's name came from a past poem which
included a line about women surviving terrible times. She describes the change in the women as,
"smooth as milk and as thick as honey."[12] A collection of poetry, prose, and hand-drawn
illustrations, the book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter depicts a different theme.[4]
[13] Book sales of milk and honey surpassed the 2.5 million copy mark.[14] The book was on The
New York Times Best Seller list for over 77 weeks.[15]
Her second book, The Sun and Her Flowers, was published on October 3rd, 2017.[16][17] Works in
this collection explore a variety of themes including loss, trauma, healing, femininity, migration and
revolution.[18]
