The Sun and Her Flowers Kindle Edition
this is the recipe of life
said my mother
as she held me in her arms as i wept
think of those flowers you plant
in the garden each year
they will teach you
that people too
must wilt
fall
root
rise
in order to bloom

Review

“At once simple, current and hard-hitting.” (The Guardian (London))
“One of the most popular writers in the world, full stop.” (The Globe and Mail)
“The line drawings that accompany her poems are raw, evocative and utterly striking.” (Toronto Star)
“Rupi Kaur reinvents poetry.” (The Economist)
“Rupi Kaur sits atop a new wave in poetry.” (The Wall Street Journal)

About the Author
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.

I purchased this product on April 13, 2023.
I decided to buy this product after encountering it frequently on the internet, particularly in English classes and through recommendations from friends who shared my love for poetry—a genre that has captivated me since my younger years. Having owned the hardcover version of this book for over four months now, I am impressed with its enduring condition.
The book, with its well-placed pictures, provided a delightful reading experience. I am still getting through this book as I found myself needing to complete other tasks in my daily life and forgot to finish reading this one, however its so text heavy that I find myself needing to re read things to fully understand, overall its proving itself to be an immensely worthwhile read. I highly recommend this beautifully written book to others who appreciate poetry.
However, I would advise that this book is intended for young adults and not suitable for readers younger than that age group. The content is descriptive, and the images, while adding to the book's appeal, might be interpreted as graphic.
Added Photos Description/Review:
These photos were taken on December 31, 2023.
They serve as a visual testament to the durability and excellent condition in which the book arrived and has been maintained throughout my ownership. Additionally, the images highlight what I find to be the charming and well-crafted design of the book. Overall, these pictures contribute to my positive review of a book that has not only withstood the test of time but also offers an aesthetically pleasing experience.
