milk and honey
Name of the book : milk and honey Name of the author : Rupi Kaur Name of the publisher : Andrews McMeel Publishing No. of pages : 204 Genre : Poetry As the title of the book implies, this book is therapeutic; not only for the broken heart but also for a fragment of the society. The broken fragment is the battling sisterhood. Milk and honey is boldly feminist and Rupi Kaur has proven how simple words can cause a bigger explosion than ammunitions. How does Kaur attain this? The language is pithy; the metaphors, crystal-clear. Consequently, the book is soft but loud. The loudness elevates female sexuality and biology; it promotes self-love and prefers it to loving another unrequitedly; it extends remedy for a wounded soul: through the embalming thoughts and words that heal. The various poetries touch the different aspects of love-life in their different stages: infatuation, break-up and recovering.
