Rupi Kaur really is out here reclaiming poetry and defining the pathway for herself. i really loved this collection. as always, there’s focus on love, self-love, feminism, immigration and mental health amongst a whole array of other things. i love her simplistic style, it's a style that invites you to look deeper within yourself and uncover your own truth. her words come from a place of genuine self-awareness and brute honesty. it’s uncomfortable to read and sit with, but you're filled with comfort by the end
Home Body is the fourth poetry book by Rupi Kaur. The content is divided into 4 sections: mind, heart, rest and awake.
As always, I absolutely loved Rupi Kaur’s poetry. So many that I will be writing down in my journal to see every day. Kupi writes as notes and messages to her own self but man, do so many of them hit close to home...
no one is qualified to decide your worth
you wake up and live your life every day
yours is the only opinion of you
that matters
I just really love this poetry collection.

This book was a very fast read, when I first saw it and read the first line I didn’t know it was gonna be really dark really fast. Some parts of the poem did resonate with me while others didn’t.
Rupi Kaur has a beautiful way with words. Such poignant and meaningful poems
I was tuned in, but the line that encaptured me was the line "...walk yourself back where the love lives..." That hit my soul.
