From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey and the sun and her flowers comes her greatly anticipated third collection of poetry.
rupi kaur constantly embraces growth, and in home body, she walks readers through a reflective and intimate journey visiting the past, the present, and the potential of the self. home body is a collection of raw, honest conversations with oneself — reminding readers to fill up on love, acceptance, community, family, and embrace change. illustrated by the author, themes of nature and nurture, light and dark, rest here.
i dive into the well of my body
and end up in another world
everything i need
already exists in me
there’s no need
to look anywhere else

    🎯Worthwhile

    that was brilliant!

    i was so impressed by "milk and honey", but now i found my new favourite.

    while in "milk and honey" it was written more about love, disillusion and healing a broken heart, the "home body" is totally focused on you, your mind, and body as a truest magic in the world.

    🌴Beach Bag Book

    Es un poemario bastante bueno, con esa esencia especial que tiene Rupi Kaur oara cada uno de sus poemas e ilustraciones, sin lugar a duda es imposible no identificarte con alguna de sus lineas.
    Es magnífico y la autora abre su corazón y su vida en su trabajo.

Quotes

  • Гретаhas quoted6 years ago
    the love of family

    friends and community

    is just as potent

    as the love

    of a romantic relationship

    i paid in blood to be here. i paid with a childhood littered with bigger monsters than you. i’ve been beaten into a silence more times than i’ve been embraced on this earth. you haven’t seen what i’ve seen. my rock bottom went so deep i’m pretty sure it was hell. i spent a decade climbing out of it. my hands blistered. my feet swelled. my mind said i can’t take it anymore. i told my mind you better get yourself together. we came here for joy. and we are going to feel all of it. i’ve been hunted. killed. and walked back to earth. i snapped the neck off every beast that thought it could. and you want to take my seat. the one i built with the story of my life. honey. you won’t fit. i juggle clowns like you. i pick my teeth with fools like you for fun. i have played and slept and danced with bigger devils
