    From Rupi Kaur, the bestselling author of Milk and Honey, comes her long-awaited second collection of poetry. Illustrated by Kaur, The Sun and Her Flowers is a journey of wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. It is a celebration of love in all its forms.
     
    this is the recipe of life
    said my mother
    as she held me in her arms as i wept 
    think of those flowers you plant
    in the garden each year 
    they will teach you
    that people too
    must wilt
    fall
    root
    rise
    in order to bloom
