From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of milk and honey and the sun and her flowers comes her greatly anticipated third collection of poetry.
rupi kaur constantly embraces growth, and in home body, she walks readers through a reflective and intimate journey visiting the past, the present, and the potential of the self. home body is a collection of raw, honest conversations with oneself — reminding readers to fill up on love, acceptance, community, family, and embrace change. illustrated by the author, themes of nature and nurture, light and dark, rest here.
i dive into the well of my body
and end up in another world
everything i need
already exists in me
there’s no need
to look anywhere else

    🎯Worthwhile

    that was brilliant!

    i was so impressed by "milk and honey", but now i found my new favourite.

    while in "milk and honey" it was written more about love, disillusion and healing a broken heart, the "home body" is totally focused on you, your mind, and body as a truest magic in the world.

    🌴Beach Bag Book

    Es un poemario bastante bueno, con esa esencia especial que tiene Rupi Kaur oara cada uno de sus poemas e ilustraciones, sin lugar a duda es imposible no identificarte con alguna de sus lineas.
    Es magnífico y la autora abre su corazón y su vida en su trabajo.

Quotes

  • Гретаhas quoted4 years ago
    the love of family

    friends and community

    is just as potent

    as the love

    of a romantic relationship

    i don’t need fixing

    i will be searching for answers my whole life

    not because i’m a half-formed thing

    but because i’m brilliant enough to keep growing

    everything necessary to live a vivid life

    already exists in me

  • Rumyana Ashkovahas quoted3 years ago
    most of my life has been spent

    with the two of us touching

    skin to skin

    our nights together

    and sometimes our days

    you carried me when my limbs refused to

    when i was so sick i could not move

    not once did you tire of my weight

    not once did you complain

    you’ve witnessed all my dreams

    my sex

    my writing

    my weeping

    every vulnerable act of my life

    has been with you

    the two of us knee-deep in laughter

    and when i’ve been a fool to trust a fool

    made love on top of you

    left for days only to

    return empty-handed

    you always took me back

    when sleep abandoned me

    we lay awake together

    you are the embrace of my life

    my confessional

    my altar

    i went from girl to woman on top of you

    and in the end

    it will be you—old friend

    delivering me to death well rested

    - there is no place more intimate than a bed

    you didn’t lose it

    happiness has always been here

    - you just lost perspective
