The Sun and Her Flowers

From Rupi Kaur, the top ten Sunday Times bestselling author of milk and honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry. 

Illustrated by Kaur, the sun and her flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. It is a celebration of love in all its forms. 

this is the recipe of life

said my mother

as she held me in her arms as i wept 

think of those flowers you plant

in the garden each year 

they will teach you

that people too

must wilt

fall

root

rise

in order to bloom
