Kaur's poetry is raw and fresh, and it yanked me into its world on the first page. Milk and Honey is broken into four sections of life and love, and the reader travels through heartbreak to loving to living.
The first section, hurting, explains how love and pain aren't always separate, and how not knowing how to separate them is what causes skewed perspectives of love beginning in childhood. The unfiltered voice looks at how parents can shape us in the worst ways before we ever see the right ways. The poem that stayed with me is that alcoholic parents don't exist, only parents who couldn't stay sober long enough, and the truth hit me like a brick wall. It's a perspective that needs to be pushed more because it's the only true one.
Favorite hurting poems: pages 34 and 39.
The second section is called loving, and it shows the first step after hurting, where we find passion and fireworks in our first relationship and think we've found everything we've missed. However, it's usually the calm before the storm. The passionate love tends to involve fighting and fiery make-up sessions, and often, we mistake that for forever love when really it's just a better love than anything else we've been shown, but it's still not a good love.
Favorite loving poems: pages 76-77.
The third section, breaking, is about realizing you can feel both love for someone and betrayal and it's accepting that both are valid. It's forgiving yourself for having conflicting emotions because those who love us can hurt us. Breaking teaches you what real love is so you know how to recognize it from others and in yourself.
Favorite breaking poems: pages 90, 95, 104, 106, and 125.
The final section is called healing and it's about balance and boundaries, knowing how much of yourself to give to others only after first giving to yourself. Healing is realizing your worth as a person and taking up space. Healing is knowing you are whole because you exist.
Favorite healing poems: pages 154, 159, 165, 178, and 185.
The sections flow effortlessly and Kaur's writing is unrelenting and dives into you like a tidal wave. Her writing is unfiltered and a breath of fresh air. I can't wait to read her other collections.
I purchased this product on April 13, 2023.
I decided to buy this product after encountering it frequently on the internet, particularly in English classes and through recommendations from friends who shared my love for poetry—a genre that has captivated me since my younger years. Having owned the hardcover version of this book for over four months now, I am impressed with its enduring condition.
The book, with its well-placed pictures, provided a delightful reading experience. I managed to read it over the course of approximately three nights, finding it to be a quick yet immensely worthwhile read. I highly recommend this beautifully written book to others who appreciate poetry.
However, I would advise that this book is intended for young adults and not suitable for readers younger than that age group. The content is descriptive, and the images, while adding to the book's appeal, might be interpreted as graphic.
Added Photos Description/Review:

They serve as a visual testament to the durability and excellent condition in which the book arrived and has been maintained throughout my ownership. Additionally, the images highlight what I find to be the charming and well-crafted design of the book. Overall, these pictures contribute to my positive review of a book that has not only withstood the test of time but also offers an aesthetically pleasing experience.

As a white woman there were poems not meant for me, but somehow made for me. Made me see, helped me understand.
As a woman who was a child in poverty, pain, and abuse..
I’ve never been so proud of how far I’ve come. It’s as if my soul came alive as I read page after page. As if adult me was able to apologize to child me for her trauma, but thank her.. for being strong and brave.
As a mother, the poems make me want to do better, be better.
