25+ 'Milk And Honey' Quotes From The Poet Rupi Kaur

Rupi Kaur's debut book, 'milk and honey', self-published in 2014, is a collection of poetry and illustrations.

Born in India, this Canadian author and illustrator delves deep into the themes of love, loss, trauma, femininity and abuse in her book. The title of the book 'milk and honey', intentionally lowercase as is Kaur's preference, refers to the resilience of the survivors of trauma, as is further expressed by the 'confessional type' the poet employs to put forth her point.

The young author uses beautiful illustrations of body, flowers, heart, and women's body as visual representations of her poetry to depict that the want and need to find sweetness even in the most bitter moments of life is one thing that is much needed. Divided into four chapters, the book 'Milk and Honey' deals with a different pain in each chapter; that nothing can destroy the beauty within you; that your body is one full of beauty your eyes fail to see; that weakness is not a sign of defeat. So if you are having a rough day and are left in self-doubt, we have the perfect list of Rupi Kaur quotes from 'Milk and Honey' you will need to brighten your day.
