About the Author
When she was five her mother handed her a paintbrush and said – draw your heart out. Rupi Kaur views her life as an exploration of that artistic journey. through her poetry and illustrations she engages with love, loss, trauma, healing and femininity. For Rupi writing has always been a collective experience. at the age of seventeen she began sharing her work. the stage was her first love and spoken word is where she found her voice. Rupi pursued her love for language by studying rhetoric at the University of Waterloo. she began working on her first collection milk and honey which eventually became a New York Times bestseller. Rupi’s passion is expression. For her that expression is taking many forms. Her photography and art direction are brought to various spaces around the world and her poetry and prose are breaking international boundaries.
