Sorry, I don't get it. The best thing about Rupi Kaur's "poetry" books are a select few of the illustrations. Reading each section is like being bludgeoned with the same topic (using the word: "theme" would be a stretch) over and over again just using different words. Here, everything is on the surface, there is no subtext, no deeper meaning, no requirement on the reader's part to think or feel anything more than the obvious superficial text. It's like the writer didn't have enough material to write about, so she just keeps rehashing the same topic or greivances over and over. Some of the "poems" are even simple incomplete thoughts. The editor has some responsibility here. Basically, Rupi Kaur is to poetry, what E.L. James is to literarture.
