It’s a simple poem, just three lines, but it carries a tremendous weight. Yet, she still believes that love is better than hate, that to hate is too easy, and love is a universal ability. Because, as her book goes over, with love there is pain. But love is not something easily practiced, rather it takes work. Many of her poems are pretty straightforward, this being one of them. Another interesting thing about her is that milk and honey is a visual as well as textual work, and most of her writings are accompanied by drawings, which help to orient the poem and are also really beautiful. This shifts the focus from the author to the work and minimizes the importance of the self, which I really love. I just ordered milk and honey on Amazon and you should too.īefore we jump into her poems, I want to just call attention to the fact that she doesn’t capitalize her name, much like e. Though I’ve read some of her work here and there, I only recently read a lot of it at once, and realized that she was a young woman author and I am now obsessed. So, here we are, in the present, and I’ve decided to choose to look at some of rupi kaur’s poetry from her first collection, milk and honey. Obviously my analyses have been in no way a comprehensive guide to English poetry, but I’ve tried to cover major periods and major poets in some way. Throughout the semester, I’ve been more or less working my way towards the present.
