Synopsis

Rupi Kaur performs the first-ever recording of home body, her third #1 New York Times bestselling collection of poetry and prose. This production was performed and recorded in 2021 along with the brand-new audio edition of milk and honey and the first audio recording of her second collection, the sun and her flowers.

Kaur constantly embraces growth, and in home body, she walks listeners 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 listeners to fill up on love, acceptance, community, family, and embrace change. 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

Goodreads review by Reading_ on December 30, 2024

"what a relief to discover that the aches i thought were mine alone are also felt by so many others" One of the best collections so far! The content is divided into 4 sections: mind, heart, rest and awake. The most hard-hitting, liberating read for me is the first section which actually made me come out of......more

Goodreads review by Meghan on November 21, 2020

I finished this in a day! Not because it was so enchanting & fantastic, but simply because the poems were SO. SHORT. As a fan of Rupi’s long-form poetry, I’m disappointed with this collection honestly. It felt rushed. I felt like she *touched* on many deep topics, but did not dig that much into them......more

Goodreads review by Kirsten on November 24, 2020

This fell short for me. I really loved her other two books, but this one didn’t offer anything new or really profound. The transitions were, as I read in another review, choppy. It really feels like she is just riding on her aesthetic, a lot of her poems lack real creativity. That being said, there......more

Goodreads review by Heidi on February 19, 2024

How could someone so different than me see inside my mind and describe my feelings as simply, strongly, and eloquently as this poet? Thought provoking therapy and awareness in a small book. If I knew where to mail my thank you card, I would. Brilliant!! (Reviewed 9/27/22)......more

Goodreads review by Beththena on November 16, 2020

I don't think that Kaur's style of poetry is for me. I don't typically read poetry so the lack of impact may be from that but I think it has more to do with how she writes.
