The Sun and Her Flowers: Rupi Kaur

Product Information

Here is a quick description and cover image of book The Sun and Her Flowers written by Rupi Kaur which was published in 2017-10-3. The author decided to title the book this way just because she felt in love with the way that sunflowers worship with the sun, how they rise with the sun and then they follow the sun around. i learned vulnerability is always the right choice because it is easy to be cold in a world that makes it so very difficult to remain soft.

The Sunday Times review described the book as "alluding repeatedly to the personal damage of growing up in a world of abusive men, while being full of determination to recover. The poetic style is quite simplistic and some quotes I felt like were reworded versions of things I've seen before. Kaur's style is artless and therefore sincere; its lack of workbench polish is the mark of immediacy.

While Kaur is able to speak and often stun from her scars in a way that might make the average person blush, she has a way of doing so where she never comes across as weak. Yet the last three sections made up for the brokenness of the character described in the first two sections.

Kaur illustrates many of the poems with simple line drawings that appear on the same page as the poem.Kaur has nearly four and a half million followers on Instagram, and many of her poems receive hundreds of thousands of “likes. Kaur explains that was such a beautiful representation of love and relationships: the sun could represent a woman and the flowers could be the relationships that she has through life. The last chunk of this poem just made me cringe and it also ruined the initial emotion I felt while reading the first half.
