Milk And Honey
By Rupi Kaur
Genre: Poetry
Date first published: Octuber 6th, 2015
My thoughts:
So it is divided on 4 parts: HURTING, LOVING, BREAKING and HEALING:
For starters you already know that the first part is going to be depressing, I was mentally prepared for that.
#1. I dislike sexual content in most things be it in films, movies, shows, writing, whatever. If it isn't consensual; actually be if it doens't go into detail or does little more than a slight reference to it (non-consensual in any way) it still fills me with dread and makes the whole thing uncomfortable to watch or read.
Back to the book. I did not like the way it made me feel. It's not so much as poetry in my opinion but a collection of thoughts that spiral downwards towards darker feelings. That feeling I get I'm not sure if it is the writing style that does not necesarily classify as poetry in my opinion or because of the topics it deals with.
It moves from those topics of darkness and unto other things but the sexual inuendos are never too far.
I liked LOVING and HEALING a lot more than the other two because they have a lighter mood to them obviously. But I can't over the fact that the "poems" are still too sexualized for my tastes.
I found it difficult to get through this book. I usually read at a relatively fast pace but with this book I DID NOT.
I had to stop several times; at least once in every part but mostly in BREAKING. I hate feeling down and I feel it isn't something most people need help with so reading depressing things makes you feel IT; it makes you ache and regret and simply put it gets you down.
When you dislike strong emotions or reading about others misfortunes the it get worse, you definately don't need this book in your life.
So all in all it was kind of meh. I don't know much about poetry or the different styles of it. But I do know that this collection of thoughts makes you feel if you are willing to place yourself in the authors shoes and feel it as deep as when they were written.
Unfortunately it is mostly a personal taste and personally I didn't like it too much becuase it expresses too much by sexual references and that doens't work well with me. Again I don't classify this as poems more like thoughts
It was ok I guess, I gave it a 2.5 stars out of 5.
