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

Hard one to review。 It bugged me the whole way through that ‘I’ was not capitalised。 Although relatable it felt more like inner thoughts than poetry。 I’d pass it on but it wouldn’t be a book I’d be eager to keep in my collection

Amazing。 What an incredible voice this author has。 I would recommend this book。Quick read， but lots of depth。

Es la primera vez que leo a la autora y más de una de las prosas las sentí como expresiones que ella estaba sintiendo en un momento o varios de inseguridad。 Lo que escribes cuando habla tu cuerpo。 También encontré un par de relatos muy personales de su niñez。 Pero más de un poema bien redactado y sentido。 Se me erizo la piel más de una vez y puedo decir que la autora cumplió con su cometido。

i get why people are saying "she wrote the same book twice" but I love her writing and her words。 they're deep and I relate to them。 i get why people are saying "she wrote the same book twice" but I love her writing and her words。 they're deep and I relate to them。 。。。more

the poetry was certainly beautiful and i absolutely loved the writing （as i usually do with rupi kaur） however， i felt that i couldn’t relate to this book as much as her other work。

I like the illustrations along with the poems。 Very uplifting for anyone that had sunk into depression or had to overcome trauma。 Very easy to identify with the feminine perspective as well

Leer a Rupi es como ver su Alma， a través de su escritura nos muestra su paso por la depresión， abusos， autoexigencia， para luego llegar a un enorme despertar de conexión consigo misma y de amor propio。Exquisito！

I was wrong about Rupi Kaur， this book genuinely helped ease my anxiety， and made me feel not worthless。 We all have our stories， and we all have meaning - and in all ways we are deserving of happiness。

I only read this because I wasn’t home but I wanted to fall asleep reading and found this on someone’s bookshelf。 I don’t like rupi Kaur but I somehow end up reading everything she publishes。 Most of it could just be tweets but I can respect her bravery/courage/openness/vulnerability regarding sexual abuse and concerns regarding productivity and the importance of community。 However this is not Poetry in my eyes， I applaud rupi for getting more people into reading， which would hopefully lead them I only read this because I wasn’t home but I wanted to fall asleep reading and found this on someone’s bookshelf。 I don’t like rupi Kaur but I somehow end up reading everything she publishes。 Most of it could just be tweets but I can respect her bravery/courage/openness/vulnerability regarding sexual abuse and concerns regarding productivity and the importance of community。 However this is not Poetry in my eyes， I applaud rupi for getting more people into reading， which would hopefully lead them onto reading better shit 。。。more

Un dels grans descobriments que he fet aquest 2021: Rupi Kaur。 Devoreu， descobriu i gaudiu aquest llibre， val molt la pena。 Alguns dels versos que més m’han agradat:“No em fa por fracassarem fa por que el meu potencialpugui incendiar el món。”

It’s so hard to read triggering words but I find comfort in knowing I am not alone。

There were a few poems in here that had the complexities I look for when connecting with writing。 But only one I put a tab in to read for later — but a reminder that poetry is also subjective。 I do feel like the four parts in this book could’ve been separated into four different books， it didn’t feel completed。 Rupi’s voice however is lovely， and I hope she starts going out of her comfort zone and begins to travel into different areas of poetry writing， or writing in general。

I haven't read a poetry collection in quite some time， and I honestly missed it。 It was always so magical feeling understood by a line and prose。 Rupi Kaur always does a fantastic job at describing her feelings and her thoughts。 Reading Home Body， brought a sense of peace and harmony to my summer。 I haven't read a poetry collection in quite some time， and I honestly missed it。 It was always so magical feeling understood by a line and prose。 Rupi Kaur always does a fantastic job at describing her feelings and her thoughts。 Reading Home Body， brought a sense of peace and harmony to my summer。 。。。more

More like 2。5 I felt the self love that I didn't feel on the other two （the sun and her flowers， and Milk and honey） so I liked this one better。I think of this one more encouraging and hopeful。I can't put it 3 stars because I don't think it changed my life or made me over think but I did enjoyed it a lot More like 2。5 I felt the self love that I didn't feel on the other two （the sun and her flowers， and Milk and honey） so I liked this one better。I think of this one more encouraging and hopeful。I can't put it 3 stars because I don't think it changed my life or made me over think but I did enjoyed it a lot 。。。more
