Milk and Honey / Rupi Kaur / 204 pgs

Milk and Honey is divided into four chapters. In the first chapter, the author grapples with her abuse as a child and teenager. In the second, she falls in love with a man. In the third, she deals with the break up of that relationship. In the last chapter, she learns to love herself.

I have problems with modern poetry, and this is not much of an exception, despite Milk and Honey's critical and commercial success. Though I did find the first chapter moving, when the author talks about her physical and emotional abuse, that is as much praise that I can muster. I read this book for one of the categories of the Read Harder challenge, to read a collection of poetry published since 2014.

I will just crawl back to my Robert Burns, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, and Ruyard Kipling now and be happy with them.
