Something Sweet for National Poetry Month

Reflections on the self and the past flow with the gorgeous poems in Milk and Honey. Explorations of love, loss, trauma, self-doubt, and other challenges for young women are presented for the readers to consider.

Milk and Honey

Milk and Honey speaks to the experiences and emotions of young women through author Rupi Kaur’s poems about her own high school and college years. Short, sweet poems and scribbled illustrations elicit a wide range of feelings from the reader and welcome them to explore their own memories and emotions through Kaur’s own. Kaur connects herself to the reader through the intimate verses, adding a delicate touch to the rough edges of painful memories. Milk and Honey is a short read that can be visited again and again for deep reflection and self-examination.
