Written and illustrated while Rupi Kaur was a university student, milk and honey soon became a word-of-mouth phenomenon, topping bestseller lists worldwide. It remains a bestselling sensation, the poetry book for the modern world.
A noble companion, milk and honey heals as it takes readers through a journey of the most bitter moments in life, showing readers the sweetness in those moments, because it is everywhere, if you are willing to look.
Immerse yourself in the lyrical feast by the author lauded by The New Republic as “the Writer of the Decade.”
A breakout literary phenomenon and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Rupi Kaur wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first poetry collection milk and honey in 2014. Next came its artistic siblings the sun and her flowers and home body, both debuting at #1 on bestseller lists across the world. These collections have sold more than 11 million copies and have been translated into over 43 languages. In 2022, she released her fourth book Healing Through Words which is a journey of guided writing exercises to help the reader explore their creativity. As she has done from the very beginning, Rupi self-produced Rupi Kaur Live, the first poetry special of its kind, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video in 2021. Rupi Kaur graces stages across the globe on sold-out world tours. These shows are a poetic theatrical experience interlaced with her own touch of stand-up. Her work touches on love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, and migration. She feels most at home when creating art, performing her poetry onstage, and spending time with family and friends.
