Home Body by Rupi Kaur Published November 17th 2020 via Simon & Schuster Poetry 192 Pages ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ Trauma, loss, love, healing—Rupi Kaur has never shied away from the tough, emotional topics in her poetry. But in 'home body,' her third collection of poems following 'milk and honey' and 'the sun and her flowers,' Kaur divulges into those topics without a filter. TW: She openly discusses depression, rape, abuse, love, and relationships, yet she writes with hope and optimism. Her life experiences have made her stronger; it "pulled a warrior out of her" and has changed her outlook for the better. After a year of uncertainty, isolation, and a complete world upheaval, 'home body' is an absorbingly relatable collection that captures the struggle with mental health and relationships that I know I, and many others, have faced in 2020. She put into words feelings I haven't been able to articulate. And it was a comfort to knowing my tense and anxious thoughts aren’t unique to me. "what a relief to discover that the aches i thought were mine alone are also felt by so many others"
