“God must have

kneeded you and I

From the same

dough

Rolled us out as one

on the baking sheet

Must have suddenly

realized

How unfair it was

To put that much

magic in one person

And sadly, split that

dough in two

How else is it that

When I look in the

mirror

I am looking at you

When you breathe-

My own lungs fill

with air

That we just met but

we have known each

other our whole

lives

If we were not made

as one to begin with”

- Rupi Kaur

Book Review:

Milk and Honey, by Indian-Canadian author and illustrator Rupi Kaur, is a book of poems published in 2014. The poetry is divided into 4 sections: the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing. The works in this 204 page collection range from tones of sarcasm, to heartbreak, to love, and to morbid curiosity. Not only is the book a wonder of great literary excellence, but also a standing symbol of cultural beauty. Kaur takes her writings from all aspects of her life, even beginning from her own youth.
