RE: Is poetry supposed to adhere to any rule? Milk and honey
I agree immensely. Kaur does have a number of good poems in that book, but many are just one line statements, written and presented in a 'aesthetic' and 'poetic' way. They don't hold too much value, and most of the pages in that book are mostly blank. It's a pity that Kaur, with all the talent she has, decided to do something like this. I guess this is because most people wouldn't sit through 150 pages of sonnet like poetry... People are just too lazy, and short, edgy poems like this are the only thing they enjoy, or even worse, understand.
Makes sense, that's probably how it became a bestseller.
