Reviews for The Sun and Her Flowers

Rupi Kaur is a rock star. * Kansas City Star * There's no denying that Rupi Kaur is currently one of the most - if not the most - popular poets in America. * Boston Globe * At age 24, Rupi Kaur has been called the voice of her generation (move over, Lena Dunham). * USA Today * Rupi Kaur sits atop a new wave in poetry. * The Wall Street Journal * Rupi Kaur reinvents poetry. * The Economist * The line drawings that accompany her poems are raw, evocative and utterly striking. * Toronto Star * One of the most popular writers in the world, full stop. * The Globe and Mail * At once simple, current and hard-hitting. * The Guardian (London) * Her work is human experience, tidily aestheticized and monetized, rendered inspirational and relatable in perfect balance. * The Cut * The poet who touched a nerve. * The Times (London) * Rupi Kaur is kicking down the doors of publishing. * The New York Times (Style) * Rupi Kaur's The Sun and Her Flowers is everything her fans have been waiting for. . . . [She's] perhaps the best-known poet in the English-speaking world at this point. * Bustle *
