Review: A Raw, Beautiful Exploration of Self and Healing - Home Body is a deeply personal and moving collection that shows why Rupi Kaur is one of my favorite authors. Her poetry and prose cut straight to the heart, exploring themes of identity, healing, love, and self-acceptance with such vulnerability and grace. What I love about this book is how it invites you to sit with your own emotions, whether it’s joy, pain, or growth, without judgment. The illustrations complement the words perfectly, creating a powerful experience that feels like a conversation with your own soul. This collection is perfect for anyone going through transitions, healing from wounds, or simply wanting to reconnect with themselves. It’s a reminder that it’s okay to be messy, to feel deeply, and to embrace all parts of who we are. If you’ve ever been touched by Rupi’s work before, Home Body is a must-have that continues her legacy of raw, honest, and healing poetry.
Review: Embody Your Woman Glory - Rupi Kaur’s third collection of poetry "home body" (perfectly titled) is an exploration of self-love, a struggle with mental illness, and a renewal of a woman-spirit bruised by abuse. This collection is an intimate conversation with Kaur and herself, that we were privileged enough to be invited to observe. I especially enjoyed this collection because we see the process in Kaur’s evolution, maturity, and growth as we fly through the pages. She begins in a depressed state, and ends up in a healthy place, basking in her own beautiful individuality. The most import part of growth is the sticky middle – the seesaw between sadness and the desire to feel better. Kaur explores this in the middle of this book where she’s struggling to pull herself out and separate herself from her pain. In this section, she goes up and down – one poem feeling depressed and empty, and then she empowers yourself on the very next page. “i’m in the darkest room in my life” And just a few pages later, “i am loving myself out of the dark” Kaur talks about depression and abuse in a real and brutal way. She talks about her own experience of sexual abuse at a very young age. These poems are painful and difficult to read. Her confusion mixed with introspection, so many years after some of these incidents, is interesting because it shows the long-term effects of trauma. You can tell that she’s processed these feelings, and at this point she’s just sick and tired of the stigma and the pain that followers her. Kaur talks about feminism in an authentic, relatable way. She expresses her exhaustion and frustration with this concept as well. Her approach is similar to that of her struggle with abuse, and therefore interconnected. She’s a woman tried and beaten down by misogyny, racism, and her experiences. Yet, with everything that’s riding against her, Kaur managers to pick up her remains, and move on with a beautiful and enchanted life. She doesn’t let her abusers take away her childhood or she child-like spender for life. Kaur presents self-acceptance, self-appreciation and self-love in a new and refreshing way. We’ve all heard these themes before, but they mean more here since we seen the process from the beginning of this collection to the end. We see how down and destroyed she felt in the opening pages, so appreciate and understand her journey. The concepts of having patience, being still, and destroying expectations and over productivity lead Kaur to the peace she’s fought hard to achieve. She focuses on the balance between fighting to gain control over your life and letting go of reins and rediscover herself in all her glory. “there is a conversation happening inside you pay deep attention to what your inner world is saying” Enjoy some of my favorite quotes from "home body", “why do i let my mind get under my skin i am so sensitive” “i’m too in love with my life to be spilled all over the floor for the next man who gives me butterflies” “masturbation is meditation” “i want someone who is inspired by my brilliance not threatened by it” “[I] accepted that happiness has nothing to do with feeling good all the time” “i want to leave this place knowing i did something with my body other than trying to make it look perfect” “be here in what needs to be done today –that’s how you honor tomorrow” “nothing tastes better than being on your owner side”

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Straightforward Poetry
*by T***I on December 24, 2020*

What I love about this book, is that it stays just as consistent as when I fell in love with her initial book, Milk & Honey. Rupi Kaur just knows how to touch a person's emotional shell and really force them to absorb her thoughts. Unlike Shakespeare (whom I am a fan of too), Kaur doesn't have to include as much wording in her poems to make her points plain to the reader. Kaur has taken a new initiative to poetry as if I'm having a conversation with a close friend or family member. I always love that with her words, the images could not speak any louder if they tried. She helps me to deal with and reflect on personal things I can empathize with her on as well. Love her work!
