ABOUT RUPI KAUR
Rupi Kaur published her first collection of poems, milk and honey, in 2014. The internationally acclaimed collection sold well over a million copies, gracing the New York Times bestsellers list every week for over a year. It has since been translated into more than 30 languages.
Kaur started drawing at the age of five when her mother handed her a paintbrush and said, “Draw your heart out.” Kaur views her life as an exploration of that artistic journey.
Kaur’s long-awaited second collection, the sun and her flowers, will be released in October 2017. Through this collection Kaur continues to explore a variety of themes including love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, migration and revolution. Divided into five chapters, the highly anticipated collection guides readers on a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming in a celebration of love in all its forms.
this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom
