Beth is an east coast Canadian, born and raised in Halifax, Nova Scotia. She is (unsurprisingly) obsessed with books and is a public library assistant and book blogger. When she’s not convincing all her friends to be friends with each other, she’s trying to convince them to read YA. She likes poetry and coffee and the ocean, but her true love is her cat Edith. She was writing inspirational poetry long before Rupi Kaur was even born and Angelou passed away the year that milk and honey was published. Rupi Kaur is the bestselling poet of milk and honeyand the sun and her flowers. Her poems are about love, family, heartbreak, racism, sexism, and more. She’s insanely quotable, managing to bring forth powerful emotion in simple language. I love all the words she writes, but here are 35 of my favourite Rupi Kaur quotes, including milk and honeyquotes! She was a phenomenal woman(#poetrypuns), part of the Civil Rights Movement in the XYZs and worked with Martin Luther King Junior and Malcolm X. Themes in Angelou’s poetry include abuse, isolation, feminism, racism and more. There are lots of poetry books in a similar style to milk & honey these days but my first recommendation is Maya Angelou’s work from the twentieth century.This collection also gives a much more focused view of mental health, particularly from the female perspective.

It’s the beginnings of a journey of self-discovery but at times it does read like a personal diary that was written more for Cox’s benefit than anyone else’s.

So there’s my list of books similar to milk and honey! Do you have any more poetry collections or books to recommend? i can’t wrap my head around the fact/that i have to convince half the world’s population/that my body is not their bed”There are a few pieces of poetry and prose in this collection that didn’t quite fit in with the fairytale theme and also didn’t do much for me, which was disappointing. However, on the whole, this was a thoroughly refreshing read that I would highly recommend to all women. The main theme of this collection is female empowerment and it’s an important read for those who have ever wanted to rewrite their own story or be something different from what everyone expects. This almost works as a companion to Rupi Kaur’s milk & honeyas this poetry collection is in the same sort of vein, but we see through the male gaze instead. It’s one of those topics where whatever you say will be criticised and Shraya’s observations will no doubt resonate with white readers.
