Oct 03, 2017 Megan rated it did not like information technology

I don't know where to brainstorm. Listen, every bit a brown adult female of course I gave Rupi a try - that's what we brownish girls do, we hold each other up and support each other similar crazy considering who else volition? Nevertheless, I think we should also be able to speak up when the work only doesn't cut it. Being disquisitional is simply tough love - so don't be and then quick to dismiss my negative feeback.

First of all, half of this volume are one-liners from her first book, and most of her longer pieces felt lazy and ill-thought out.

I don't know where to begin. Listen, as a brown woman of course I gave Rupi a try - that's what we brown girls do, nosotros concord each other upwards and support each other similar crazy because who else will? However, I think nosotros should besides exist able to speak upward when the work just doesn't cutting it. Being disquisitional is only tough dearest - so don't be and then quick to dismiss my negative feeback.

First of all, half of this book are 1-liners from her starting time volume, and almost of her longer pieces felt lazy and ill-thought out. I establish myself skipping/ losing interest through most of them. Furthermore, I simply can't ignore the more popular pieces she has claimed equally her own when any avid reader can tell yous they are not.

Instance ane :

"y'all must run into no worth in yourself
if yous find me worth less
after you've touched me
as if your hands on my body
magnify you
and reduce me to naught" - rupi kaur

sounds awfully familiar to my favorite quote by Kaija Sabbah:

"If y'all consider a adult female less pure after yous've touched her
maybe you should take a looks at your easily."

Example 2: (This is from her first book)

"She was music, but he had his ears cutting off" - Rupi Kaur

"She was like a piano in a country where everyone has had their easily cut off." - Angela Carter

Example 3:

"a
homo
who cries"
- rupi kaur

"i want more men
with flowers falling from their skin
more h2o in their eyes
more tremble in their hands
more women in their hearts

than on their bodies

more softness in their meridian
more than honesty in their vox more than wonder
more humility in their optics."

- Nayyirah Waheed

Example iv:

"Your voice does to me
what autumn does to trees
y'all call to say hello
and my dress fall naturally"

- rupi kaur

(Okay bated from this just being hilarious, here's who she tried to copy)

"I want to practice with you
what spring does with the cherry trees."

- Pablo Neruda

and

"Y'all wonder why I don't
reply your iii a.m. phone calls.
When yous say "I miss y'all"
I begin to undress myself out of habit."

-Sierra Demulder

Example 5:

"If yous got any more beautiful
the sun would go out its identify
and come for you"

- rupi kaur

"Had I told the sea
What I felt for you,
It would have left its shores,
Its shells,
Its fish,
And followed me."

― Nizar Qabbani

(Many of yous have messaged be virtually the difference betwixt plagiarism and inspiration, and this is my take on it:

If ms. kaur is attempting to give a voice to women through her work, which she claims she is doing, then she should too admit everyone who has "inspired" her. The debate her isn't whether she's a skillful poet or not, merely if she has any integrity....which she clearly doesn't. Many women of color writers, specifically black women writers, have been silenced by her.

This is the same woman who "wrote" the following:

"I am the product of all the ancestors
getting together and deciding these stories need to exist told"

???? How??? By erasing them? By taking their words and signing your proper noun underneath them?

and my favorite,

"never merchandise honesty for relatability"

Congrats y'all, she played you.)

The pieces speaking about some of the hardest topics seem so surface level, I felt wrong reading it. I would never give this to my daughter. Not to mention the randomly sprinkled poems talking most her being an immigrant, all of them felt so out of place and awkward next to her other pieces.

Anyways, I could get on and on nearly how much her work mirrors the work of bottom-known authors, simply I recollect most readers already know this. I feel let down and embarrassed past this author and would never recommend information technology to anyone.
I can only promise she grows up one day and finally finds her vocalisation.

Permit me first off past proverb that I am not a fan of Rupi Kaur's milk and honey; Yet, beingness the forgiving person that I am, I have decided to requite her work a second chance.

Warning: The gifs yous are most to see are real reactions to the poems I just read.

Alrighty, here we get:

i live for that first second in the morning
when i am withal one-half-conscious
i hear the hummingbirds outside
flirting with the flowers

This review was brought to y'all by the best Real Housewives gifs on giphy.com.

Let me starting time off by maxim that I am not a fan of Rupi Kaur's milk and honey; HOWEVER, existence the forgiving person that I am, I have decided to give her work a 2d adventure.

Warning: The gifs yous are virtually to see are real reactions to the poems I just read.

Alrighty, hither we go:

i live for that first second in the forenoon
when i am still half-conscious
i hear the hummingbirds outside
flirting with the flowers
i hear the flowers giggling
and the bees growing jealous
when I turn over to wake you
information technology starts all over again
the panting
the wailing
the shock
of realizing
that you've left

- the first morning without you lot

Merely calculation my unwanted two cents and personal preference here, but I would have been good had she stopped subsequently 'and the bees growing jealous'. The last chunk of this poem just made me cringe and information technology also ruined the initial emotion I felt while reading the first one-half.

Next upwards, buttercup:

i envy the winds
who still witness you

Been dur, done dat. How is this original? I bet Atticus would love this one.

---

Please, Queen Latifah, give me da forcefulness that I need to get acquit on. Here we go again:

you break women in like shoes

You know what? I've fabricated a grave mistake in reading this. This isn't my preferred cup of tea.

---

The end is nigh:

a
human
who cries

- a souvenir

I came. I saw. I conquered.

---

It's over, finished, washed, finito, head. Welp, that was definitely better than milk and honey. Not! But in all honesty, none of her poems actually left an impression on me. There were a few "poems" that I liked, but I've already forgotten them. Also, I thought this collection was meant to empower women? Majority of her poems came across every bit emotionally insecure and overly clichéd.

Here is why I take a trouble with her work: corresponding imagery is nice to await at once in a while, but I picked this up to be moved past her WORDS. If I wanted a movie book, then I'd go out and buy one. I plant the artwork in this unnecessary, and I wasn't impressed with the stick people drawings.

Also, I call up modern poets tend to forget how impactful the use of punctuation tin be for a reader. Create a tonality with your words and format your stanzas with stylistic elements. Unfortunately, this whole book was very tiresome and very monotone.

It is nice to run into a immature Canadian poet found herself--don't become me incorrect! And my heart goes out to Ms. Kaur later on reading about some of the horrific situations she underwent. That being said, I still recollect her work is overhyped and resembles little fluffs of zippo. If yous enjoyed this and so no hard feelings. Simply no more chances and no more than modern poetry for me. I hateful it. (that's probably a lie)

*sings* Edgar Allan Poeeee sum sugaaa on meee.

I don't get it.

I feel like a total ass for antisocial this book because she covers some very personal and traumatic topics, only to me information technology merely reads like she's trying too hard to be profound considering everyone lost their shit over her kickoff book (which I didn't specially like either, considering it was basically a tumblr dashboard), and then it was like she had to outdo herself. Like m&h, there were a few lovely nuggets in here, but it was long and drawn out, redundant, and information technology felt like she had a minimum page number she had to get to, and like some other reviewer said, a lot of her content looks very familiar/like she paraphrased existing quotations and such already. The bad far outweighs the good.

I hateful, I judge I can give her props for expanding beyond the tumblr one-liners, but fifty-fifty her longer poems I didn't similar. She basically took a regular conversation, got rid of all capitalization, and added misplaced punctuation so it became judgement fragments.

Some of the illustrations are lovely. And then some are a scrap perplexing (like the drawing of what I'grand assuming was a woman going downwardly on another woman under the poem talking about the moon and water. I definitely did non get that metaphor without the image).

Once, at that place were these poems,
Which my heart cannot fully conduct.
Drivel — daft and dreary,
Perchance, all I tin can do is merely stare.

Enjambments and aphorisms, likewise,
Take filled this book,
Hackneyed phrases — oh bloody hell,
Seems like gobbledygook!

Prithee, to thee, I say —
Analyse her poems first from within,
And compare its content
From Lord Byron's discipline:

"When nosotros two parted
In silence and tears,
One-half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy buss;
Truly that hour

Which my heart cannot fully deport.

Colder thy osculation;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this."

Forsooth, I fathom the fondness her works had received,
Equality, empowerment, and dearest — all these —
Kaur explores with such tremendous breadth,
Nonetheless it failed — for it was defective in some respect.

Alas, I come to the finish of this critique,
Integrate poetic devices, and then this would exist unique!
Apologies, my dear friends, for it was merely me,
With a pinch of table salt, accept it, in all this soliloquy.

Wow. Allow me say I had low expectations going into this, simply I was so wrong. Backstory: I'thou not a fan of milk & dearest. It's not a manner I enjoy at all, and the entire book just felt too Tumblr and cheesy and simplistic. this blew me away. it's and so different, fresh, and jaw-dropping.

it's interesting to see how her writing has grown and evolved. in that location are very few short poems (unlike m&h), which i was thankful for, because in m&h information technology seemed like she would merely write sentences with skips in it, then label them poetry, and i really hated that way. however, this utilized a lot of longer poems and metaphor and personification of nature, and although it's still non my favorite fashion, it's gotten then much better.

This volume was only so much more than personal. k&h felt similar a ton of blanket statements and tumblr posts, but this 1 had quotes that actually made me sit back and go "whoa."

"i even tried to bury myself alive
simply the dirt recoiled
you have already rotted information technology said
there is zero left for me to practice
- cocky-detest"

Astonishing.

This volume adds on an entire section nigh immigration and refugees, and I idea information technology was new and powerful as opposed to simply talking about feminism, the body, and self-love. also, brown girls NEED to pick up this volume. there is and so much positivity and messages about acceptance of your skin.

i volition say, if you determine to pick this upwards, don't surrender hope until you reach part two. The whole first function seems like it was a step back from milk & honey? milk and beloved was so feminist and focused on recovery and self-love and some of the poems in the first part were similar "TELL ME I'M PRETTY I NEED VALIDATION" and stuff like that and I was like ??????? Information technology started out actually weak merely definitely got ameliorate.

Lastly, another thing I wasn't a huge fan of is none of her poems use punctuation. She had some longer poems unlike anything she had in g&h, but most of those but employed actually long-winded run-on sentences and I wasn't a huge fan of that style. Considering of that, it was hard to tell sometimes when one poem concluded and some other begun considering none were punctuated, some didn't take titles, some were just one sentence, etc.

Regardless, I'm sorta speechless considering I expected to hate this and I actually enjoyed information technology so much. Several of the poems gave me chills. If yous gave up promise after milk & honey, definitely think about trying this from a library or something considering it is a MAJOR improvement and I call up its messages are valuable, and null almost this feels similar a regurgitation of a Tumblr mail service.

Kaur's voice is as audacious and dauntless as ever. She nails to perfection the specific intimate details that made her writing and so achingly real in milk and honey. We have poems exploring self-honey, self-hate, torso-prototype, girls supporting girls, motherly love, feminism, insecurity, sexual set on, and so much more. I read through it in a cyclone. I barely put it downwards, and it was so brusque I didn't fifty-fifty have to.

The writer'south smart, poised, and down-to-globe writing oozes inspiration. And I'm beyond eager to share some of my favorite pieces:

I'll never grow tired of reading Kaur's passionate words. And I hope in that location's more and more than to expect for in the future, regarding her poesy.

The writing manner is so good and smooth.
It's relatable.
It talks about abusive relationships, depression, rape, how victim copes subsequently, loneliness, (near importantly) letting become, the things we women have to go through in the proper noun of beauty, being an introvert, patriarchal society, fighting back,hope and nearly women empowerment. Overall about WOMANHOOD.
I loved all the lines except for the fact that information technology gave a hint about acceptance to exist in an calumniating relationship.
The insecurity screams out too loud.
Yet the last 3 sections fabricated up for the brokenness of the character described in the outset two sections.
Loved information technology.
I will reread this again adjacent yr.
💌 Hopefully.
✨And then happy to read this one holding a physical copy in my favourite bookstore with two cups of cuppacino ✨

I have to get the physical copy again☺️

My favorite parts in this quick read were the poems centered on Kaur's generational experience with clearing and her deep admiration for her mother. There's a rich narrative to be explored there and I'm glad she devoted an entire department for information technology. Other than that, many of the poems are a hitting or miss. Sometimes Kaur weaves together profound thoughts, and other times she simply write statements that take line spacing every other word.

Sometimes Kaur weaves together profound thoughts, and other times she simply write statements that accept line spacing every other word. Half of the poems are well-nigh heartbreak and relationships, which I found to be generic. I can come across how this would exist meaningful to immature girls though; my younger cocky from 5 years ago probably would have enjoyed Kaur's poetry more, because I dealt with emotionally abusive relationships back then. But my nowadays day self has matured and moved on from teenage/college-age malaise, so I retrieve I've outgrown this type of sentimental writing. ...more

Beautiful book. Loved that there were longer pieces in this one and that the book was thicker in general. Wonderful illustrations equally ever though I have to say that since she has used drawings that were quite like to some in her beginning book, I kinda got confused and idea for a moment that she has reused some of her old poems besides. (I promise I make sense). Definitely gonna keep this book on my nightstand 😊⭐️
