At the book signing Rupi wrote that this was a love letter for the fans in her life. I loved reading this because it was not just a reprint, the author added her own flare to it, art work and notes to the reader along the way.

It was such a delight to revisit this book with the updated annotations and new section. It brought me back ten years to when I first started following rupi's work and where I was at the time in my life. I love her work and cannot wait to see what the next ten years bring in her career!

December 10, 2024this probably was not the first poetry book i read, however it is the most memorable as it *really* got me into poetry. probably at 14/15 ish. the ten year anniversary edition made me cry almost as much, if not more, than it did the first time around. i’ve read this book countless times and each time i take away something new. women are such powerful and extraordinary creatures. thank you rupi for sharing your mind, your heart, and a piece of your soul<3

I loved everything about this incredibly personable collector's edition! It gave so much more depth and inspiration (especially to those considering self-publishing or publishing in general) to a collection of poetry that is already SO deep and inspiring.

i picked up the tenth anniversary edition because i was interested in the poetry that didn’t make the first edition and the annotations that rupi (and a few friends) added to the book. it was thoroughly interesting to see the creation and birth of milk and honey as well as the journey beyond. it was a very cool new edition. many congratulations to rupi on ten years of milk and honey.

I met Rupi at a signing for this books. She was so kind and gracious.
The anniversary edition is amazing! Rereading the original poems was so nostalgic. The new chapter Remembering was the perfect addition to the book.

10th Anniversary Collectors Edition for one of my favorite books. This book was one that I found in 2016 in a time period I was feeling lost. My relationship with men was toxic, and my last relationship was certainly abusive. This book made me feel seen in ways I didn’t even know I needed. It was that moment that I realized my feelings were valid and maybe I wasn’t as crazy as I felt.
Here we are 8 years later, and I am reading it once again. Yet this time, I have healed. I have loved myself enough to share love with another human. Our love is magical and healthy and what little me would’ve screamed over to my best gals.
The bonus chapter was healing. What a magical evolution. I’m so very grateful that Rupi shared a piece of her heart, and allowed us to resonate on the same wavelength. ✨🐝🍯

What a strange experience to be reading this again after years, my first thought before writing this review was to check what I had originally written upon my first reading in 2021 (!!!!?!?!! What?!?,! 2021!!!!???!?) to reflect and build on it and….I am petrified.
How is it possible that words can still resonate equally albeit so vastly differently even after so many years?
No need to repeat myself then. Repetita iuvant! (Particularly so in this case).
(Also that review was short yet packs a punch, when did I start getting into this dreadful habit of mine of writing overly-long reviews that I have nowadays?)

I absolutely love this book. Brought back so many memories of when and where I was in life when I first read milk and honey. I was lost and hurt.
Reading the book now took me back but also helped me see the improvement and how far I’ve come emotionally and mentally.
Her words are so raw, realistic, and beautiful. Her poems cut deep, but she finds a way to sew the cut in a beautiful pattern to heal with minimal scarring.
Ik that’s so deep, but truly that is how I feel.
Rupi Kaur will always be one of my favorite poets along with Emily Dickinson. 🥰
I have so many tabs in his book to come back too. 😂

I first read Milk and Honey at my worst, and now, as I am reading it years later, I am at my best. I am not exactly perfect, but I am happier and I feel more alone than ever. So, when I did this reread a whole new meaning took place. I have made it through, just as the author has, and it is so much fun to revisit with a new feeling of happiness. I love Kaur's writing and each and every poem was written so well. I also loved the extra annotations and poems we got.

Bought this book today and picked it up to read a few poems and finished the entire book in one sitting. Absolutely loved this. Will be reading her other books! Loved this 10th anniversary edition of the book as well. A combination of poems, her art, and little side notes/letters. This is a book I will go back and take what I need from it, but will 100% read again.

Okay hear me out. Yes yes, rupi kaur is the queen of 2014 tumblr. BUT this edition was such a thoughtful update from the original one with her honest reactions to her old work as well as her personal life story. While I don’t always love her poetry structure, I really appreciate her honest discussions about female sexuality and her drawings are so beautiful

I’ve always been a fan of Rupi’s work, and it was lovely to revisit her debut “Milk and Honey”. This time, her classic collection is sprinkled with commentary that brings insight to her already moving poems, and the addition of a whole new chapter. I enjoyed getting a glimpse of the original development of “Milk and Honey”, and the new section of poetry was both well-written and refreshing.

⭐️ 4/5. Strangely enjoyed this version more than the other one. Maybe there's lesser resentment towards the person I was back then. Still. I healed and found cathartic peace inside these pages. And I resumed writing poetry and reading more, so, thank you for this wonderful journey that milk and honey is.

Imperfectly perfect.
Relatable, thought-provoking, comforting and inspirational. I love the raw and honest writing in combination with the annotations within this edition. Stunning and will definitely be re-reading as some poems were not as relatable now as they may be in the future, but I think any time I re-read this the poems will hit differently, which is amazing.

I loved this book, especially how big the drawings are and the writing was. The themes of the book hit home and I enjoyed the diary extriens and behind the scenes. It felt like I was with her on the journey! ❤️💖

Her work will always be the biggest inspiration I have ever had.

This book hit me hard 10 years ago and just as much so now. The added notes are a cherry on top ❤️❤️
