You guys this next book had me in my feelings. It is a poem book with 4 parts by none other Rupi Kaur. It is called, "The Sun and Her Flowers" and it made me feel so many emotions.
I read her first poem book and that was good, but this one man. Some of these poems LITERALLY hit me so hard I closed the book and thought about it for like 20 minutes. I couldn't stop reading them over and over again. I was praising her for writing such honest and beautifully raw words. I am sure it wasn't easy to write what she did. I couldn't imagine re experiencing these emotions while she was writing, it is tragic and beautiful and amazing. I am in awe at how honest these got. I know her first book was similar in style with 4 different parts that represent a time in her life and how she felt, BUT DAMN! Rupi came out with a better poem book that literally took my breath away.
I am sorry, but you have to read this book. It is too pure and honest for you not to read it. I aspire to be as brave and write as beautifully as her, honestly.
I felt like I needed to share some of my favorite poems from the book because they are too good.. so continue reading :)
Here are some of my favorites I couldn't resist sharing! Sorry some of them are hard to read (Try zoom).
