Publisher's summary

Rupi Kaur presents an all-new performance of milk and honey, her number one New York Times best-selling collection of poetry and prose about survival, the experience of violence, abuse, love, loss, and femininity. This new production was recorded in 2021 along with the first-ever recordings of her number one best sellers the sun and her flowers and home body, all of them performed by Rupi Kaur.

The book is divided into four chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose. Deals with a different pain. Heals a different heartache. milk and honey takes listeners through a journey of the most bitter moments in life and finds sweetness in them - because there is sweetness everywhere if you are just willing to look.

actually good poems

i enjoyed listening to her pain and healing. many of the commenters dont like the book because Rupi talks about everything..all the trauma..sexual abuse...neglect etc..and some people arent ready to deal with the things affecting their own lives.

i think you'll enjoy listening to this.

A beautiful way that she describes how her mother made a great impact in her life.

The only thing that I enjoyed about the book was the way the author expressed her happiest emotions

Stunning and Powerful

Came into this absolutely blind. Didn't even know it was poetry. I just recognized the name from an ex-roommate's bookshelf and thought I'd give it a go.
I'm absolutely blown away! Such an all at once beautiful and heartbreaking and empowering piece of work that I will absolutely return to again and again. And the already beautiful words ascend even higher by the author's own narration. An absolutely unquestionable masterpiece.
