Me encanta Rupi Kaur, es mi poetisa favorita. Por eso, cuando me enteré de que tenía una nueva edición de su último libro "Home body" no lo dudé y me lancé.
Creo que la autora lidia con temas complejos como los abusos y la violencia sobre la mujer, la inmigración y el cariño a una misma. En este caso, a esta lista de temas se une la salud mental y la depresión (que la autora pasó previamente a escribir el libro). De hecho, hay unos pocos de los poemas que hablan de cómo la vorágine editorial la afectó a ella y a su trabajo creativo.

A pesar del trabajo creativo de la autora, y de la cantidad de poemas que marqué, sin embargo se me ha quedado corto. Creo que este poemario tenía mucho potencial y su complejidad daba pie a poemas más largos y abstractos...y sin embargo, propulaban textos más cortos que, al menos a mí, no me han llegado tanto.
¿Me ha gustado? Sí. ¿Esperaba más? También. Rupi es capaz de entenderme, pero en este caso mi libro era más largo y complejo que el espejo que ella me ha dado para reflejarme. ¿La leeré más? Siempre.

This is a strange book to review because Rupi Kaur is my favorite poet and I was very, very excited for this book.
In "Home body" Kaur explores some of her usual topics such as violences against women, inmigración and self-love, but she explores mental health a bit more, especially how it has affect her personally in her creative process, which includes also the very fast publishing industry.
I love how she creates poetry around this topics and I have marked quite a few poems. However, despite all of this I had the feeling that this poetry collection was missing something. It felt short. The complexity of its topics called in my opinion for longer, more complex poems, and yet, this time around Kaur those to write extremely short works (in some cases one or two lines poems). Which, in my opinion is a pity. 
I do Belice she touched my heart more with "The sun and her flowers", but I enjoyed this collection, but I think that this happened because normally Kaur´s words reflects how I feel... and maybe this time my internal world was too chaotic. I was definitely looking for more abstract, methaforical pieces...but some of this works also resonated with me. 

I do believe I was expecting more of the collection than what it delivered. However, I liked this collection and I will continue reading what Rupi writes

Beautiful, raw, deep there’s no way to describe how I feel about these poems. They really make you think about yourself and reflect. 

A beautifully moving collection of poems about feminism, grief, trauma and self love & discovery.

I thought I was going to have to wait until I moved back to the US to get this book, but luckily a friend of mine here in Spain has family near my hometown that she went to visit during the Christmas holidays so I convinced my mom to get Home Body for me and drop it off with her so she could bring it to me! Like Kaur's other poetry collections, Home Body deals with themes of feminism and womanhood, sexual assault, depression, and community. Usually I really like her short poems for their simple, direct beauty (and my favorite of this book was a short one on page 26), so I was surprised how much I loved her longer poems in this collection.
