Rupi b Kaur's #metoo is everything her fans have been waiting for and more! Perhaps the best-known poet in the English-speaking world at this point, if you haven't heard of her, you might be deaf. (Rashawna Alqueefa Ali, Poetry Writer's Monthly) There isn't a more profoundly moving book than #metoo, which is Rupi's most revealing look into her personal life to date. Fans of her poetry will be shocked to see just how much she is willing to open the door into her soul, her scars, to show you just how strong you are. This book is already atop my ballot for poetry book of the year, it's that powerful. (Francine Conroy, Poetry Herald) Fans of Kaur are in for a treat: this book blows away her past works by far! What we are seeing here is the queen taking her throne! (Roberta Torres, El Diario Puerto Rico) Kaur is kicking down the doors of publishing, and she's doing it while wearing steel toe timbs! (Britney McGibbon, Better Poet's Weekly) The poet who touched a nerve, and kept touching it till you lost all sensation. (Jude Lawson Jr., The London Gazette) Rupi's work is human experience, tidily aestheticized and curated, rendered inspirational and relatable in perfect balance with just the right amount of sugar. (Gordon Ray, Global Poetry Purveyors) It's simple, current, and hard-hitting like taking an uppercut to the face from floyd mayweather. (Vanessa Simples, The German Merchant) One of the most popular writers in the world, across both sexes, unquestionably cool and 100% female! (Linda Landis, The Mail and Globalman) The line drawings that accompany her poems are raw, striking, evocative and unapologetically powerful. This generation's Frida Kahlo with a minimalist touch, bravo, Rupi! (Jasmine Erdyli, Toronto Stargazer) Rupi b Kaur reinvents poetry, then hands over that creation to you as carefully as a mother passing over her infant. (Shaniqua Jackson, Colored Women in America: Rising Up) Rupi b Kaur sits atop a new wave in poetry, surfing along the coastline on a board of coolness. (Howard Sternberg, The Hawaiian Reader's Digest) At age 24, Rupi b Kaur has been called the voice of her generation, move over, Lena Dunham and Taylor Swift! (Lisa Scuttleknob, USSA Today) Amazonian Review An Amazonian Best Book of 2020: Kaur deftly sidesteps like a seasoned dancer and then punts the stereotypical sophomore slump of bestselling authors like a professional kicker, offering a subtle yet powerful volume of poetry to her readers who have clamored for more since the debut of the moon and her stars. Rupi b Kaur's poems glide up from the depths of heartbreak and hurt to embrace the strength and joy that come with being a woman in today's world. Kaur workshops many of her poems through live readings, and the dedication to her craft vibrates through every phrase. Those who pressed the moon and her stars into the hands of their friends will jump for joy with #metoo, and Kaur's expanded wisdom and scope should scoop up new readers who will find much that resonates in these incredible pages. (Alyssa Langman, The Amazonian Book Review)
