Normally I'm
not one for poetry but Rupi Kaur showed me what's up. I didn't think anything could top her last collection (Milk and Honey), but my god, this is heaven. It's profoundly emotional, soul jarring, and introspective. It's word porn of the highest order. The Sun and Her Flowers is split into five sections: wilting, falling, rooting, rising, and blooming.
Rooting was especially moving, delving into immigration and making a new life in a new country, her poems about her mother are profoundly touching. The accompanying illustrations really add to her poems, helping elicit even more of an emotional response from the reader. Her poems range from break-ups, self doubt, self-love, trust, immigration,
and womanhood. I literally loved this book so much, I went out and bought it because I knew I had to possess such a a beautiful collection. A definite must read, especially for women.Rating: 5 out of 5 starsFrom my blogThere are times things come into your life at the perfect moment and the sun and her flowers was one of those moments. My niece
bought this as my Christmas gift and I decided to start the year with it. Poetry is my simple pleasure but I hardly read any so I was grateful for this gift. I can see myself reading this one again.This was a powerful book about the stages of grief, told in 5 chapters. Wilting reminded me of a broken relationship, the beginning of the grieving process.
Falling was a heart felt moving chapter about the importance of self-love. Rooting was about diversity, the sacrifice we take for our families, the legacy. Rising started to give us the promise of new love. Blooming was moments of beauty, blessings and special lessons. These are my interpretations of the moments and chapters while reading the book.I
read 99% on my Kindle so reading a book felt like a new experience, going down memory lane. I never liked to dog ear books but without the highlight Kindle feature I had to, there was so much to love and have at my fingertips. I would like to share a poem from each chapter for you, hope you enjoy them.Wiltingday by day i realizeeverything i miss

and Her Flowers, including such fraught topics as feminism, self-love, body image, painful breakups, and even rape. There's also a section about her parents' immigration. Young adults who can relate to her short, accessible verses and simple drawings will find much to treasure here. As for me, I don't think that I'm the reader the poet had in mind. I
found that a little of Kaur's poetic sensibility goes a long way.Rating: 5 out of 5 starsLoved this collection just as much as the first one! Can't wait to read moreRating: 5 out of 5 starsSimple and Brilliant. I resonate so deeply with this! A favorite!Rating: 5 out of 5 starsJust like her first book, this was an amazing heart touching second book. I love how
every illustration has so much meaning and sympathy hidden in it that it feels like it's flooding the room. Ten out of ten, you should read it! Want more? Advanced embedding details, examples, and help!
