The collection is divided into four chapters-the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing-each dealing with a different kind of experience and pain. MILK AND HONEY is grounded in the everyday experiences of women and bears witness to both the beautiful and the brutal sides of being a woman. When I finally decided to pick up this extraordinary collection of poems, I immediately understood why everyone is so obsessed. So it meant something when all these young women were raving about Rupi Kaur’s MILK AND HONEY. Now, these are twentysomethings who barely read any of the books I send them-let alone poetry-and they don’t buy books regularly. Who says people don’t read poetry anymore? During the past several months, all my girlfriends have been reading the same collection of poetry.
