I'm not sure if the type to read Rupi Kaur is the type to buy books with any literary merit. People have called many of my poems “self-involved,” “diaristic,” or “navel-gazing.” I still think that deep, highly personal writing matters, and it can definitely still be “real” poetry.
I'm not sure if the type to read Rupi Kaur is the type to buy books with any literary merit. They are easy to read and get the masses back into poetry.
There are far worse crimes in literature. A version of this article was previously published on the author’s blog, Megan Writes Everything. Milk and Honey is all I have read, and I enjoy poetry anyway, but her work certainly resonates stronger with certain people. Next they'll discover Sylvia Plath, Anne Sexton and Bukowski and we'll say they're "college-aged probably" and roll our eyes. So I gave her the book for her birthday. By the time milk & honey came out I had kind of already aged out of the genre. My friend who wanted it had been telling me about her shit abusive boyfriend. I'm not a fan of Kaur by any means, but her reaction was excessive.
You can't plaigerize dirt, and Rupi Kaur is a surface level poet.
Probably already is. I also like that she's self-made: she did her own thing with what she had and it made her famous. Personally, though, I believe that Kaur deserves the title “Writer of the Decade.” Rupi Kaur is a poet and artist whose books, milk and honey and the sun and her flowers, have reached millions of people. Edit: I've apparently offended some people. But not many people are. I'm also not a fan of modern "popular" poets. No other poet in the last ten years (or maybe in history as a whole) has been able to create such a powerful shift in the way we view poetry. But right now....she's sold over a million copies on bland teen internet "sadness." Poetry moves people, helping them feel emotions they’ve lost touch with or see their lives differently. As a person who enjoys the composition in the poetic form I have found her work a little bland but it does feel very similar to fragments of Sappho. bulbabushka reblogged this from fighting-ocd. 3 years ago. Your question is too deep. I'll admit I've read a few poems that I like but I understand what you mean when you say that she is not impressive on a technical level. I remember when my poetry was horrible and cringey.

I think, though, that Kaur’s popularity feeds into the reasons why people don’t take her writing seriously. Rupi Kaur was born in Punjab, India on Monday, October 5, 1992 (Millennials Generation). Just sad. I purely cannot stand her work. It isn’t mine, although there are nuggets of treasure amongst the images and ideas that don’t connect with me. Lots of preaching about confidence, self love, awareness and the like. I'll freely admit I'm no poet. And shouldn’t people only recognize their genius after they die? Press J to jump to the feed.

as a woman who is almost 30, and just getting out of almost a 10 year abusive marriage, I really loved milk and honey. Tumblr (or Instagram) might be people's first snippet into poetry. If anything, I found Kaur's blunt earnestness and lack of pretense to be refreshing, if not charming. 11 notes Feb 21st, 2018. Rupi’s collections of poetry, milk and honey and the sun and her flowers, have sold millions of copies and been translated in over 42 languages. I've worked hard enough to say I've gotten really good at writing poetry.
We should allow poetry to be relevant. That sends the message that whatever your resources, whatever your background, if you want to make something then you can do it, and there will be an audience for it. That's what I pull from it anyway -- maybe its simplicity makes it easy for her readers to ascribe their own meaning and experiences to her poems. She's one of the few speaking out about these topics through art and poetry, and it resonates with people who technically could say the same things, and who are probably thinking the same things -- but who are being silenced, either by themselves, or society, or something else. Our society will immortalize Kaur’s work for that very reason: its relevance. Rupi Kaur’s poetry is awful and is only successful because of its “aesthetic” look.
