The intense emotions, choice in point of view, line drawings, and form of the poems in Rupi Kaur’s Milk and Honey work together to impact the text’s readers and Ignite Her Ink. Memoirists and fiction writers who wish to convey an emotional, internal journey can use this collection as an example of how they must fully immerse the reader in the emotions of the characters, so they can experience the pain, love, loss, anger, elation, and more of the piece. Kaur shares her emotional journey with her readers, from an abusive childhood to discovering her own self-worth, she describes the hurting, the loving, the breaking, and the healing that led her to writing and the person she is today. Milk and Honey is an excellent example of the economy of words and of a book of poetry with a story arc. Poets are experts at making a handful of words convey an entire moment or more. Im not usually a big poetry fan, but if you want to create an intense emotion in as few words as possible, read poetry. Rupi Kaur reads poetry from her collection ‘Milk and Honey’
