What Can We Learn From Rupi Kaur’s Poems?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Rupi Kaur’s poems in The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em> explore Kaur’s inner emotional self, her relationships, her experiences with trauma and insecurity, and its effect on her relationships<\/strong>. Through her style of minimalist drawings and poems, she connects things in her personal life to larger social issues: Kaur\u2019s relationship with her mother connects to the struggles of immigrants, refugees, and women of color living in misogynistic societies. A new healthy romantic partnership connects to the joy and difficulty of healing and learning self-love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rupi Kaur’s The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em> poems use a minimalist style of verse and drawings, connecting Kaur’s own deep emotional experiences to larger social issues around her\u2014misogyny, rape, female infanticide, and negative body image<\/a>. The main themes of Kaur\u2019s poems can be understood in three parts:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Feeling Pain <\/strong>covers the \u201cWilting\u201d section of The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em> and Kaur\u2019s description of ending an abusive relationship.<\/li>
  2. Feeling Empty <\/strong>covers the \u201cFalling\u201d section of The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em> and Kaur\u2019s exploration of her deep-seated depression, insecurities, and trauma from childhood sexual abuse<\/a>. <\/li>
  3. Feeling Hope <\/strong>covers the \u201cRooting,\u201d \u201cRising,\u201d and \u201cBlooming\u201d sections of The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em> and Kaur\u2019s newfound appreciation for her family, her cultural background, and her loving partner.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Lesson #1: Appreciating the Positive<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em>, Rupi Kaur’s poems express newfound gratitude and appreciation towards her family and culture. She\u2019s come to recognize all of the remarkable challenges her parents faced. Arriving as poor immigrants, Kaur\u2019s parents were able to successfully provide for their family and adapt to their new country and lives. Kaur is grateful to her mother in particular, who gave up pursuing her own goals and dreams so she could raise her family\u2014going through constant work and stress all the while. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Reflecting on their own experiences, some first-generation immigrants suggest that gratitude and family bonds can overcome some of the significant differences in values<\/a> that might exist between immigrant parents and their children born in a new country. From this perspective, families can develop appreciation by acknowledging each other\u2019s past hardships and recognizing where they share common ground\u2014despite clashes that might appear between the cultural values of their current and former homes.) <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Lesson #2: Criticizing the Negative<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    While Kaur finds a new appreciation for her background, she also recognizes some negative aspects of her heritage and culture. Through the poems in The Sun and Her Flowers<\/em>, Rupi Kaur explains how some elements of South Asian culture are misogynistic and how this misogyny informs the lives of South Asian girls and women. She often connects this back to the experiences of her mother\u2014Kaur describes how her mother was taught to be submissive and obedient to the men in her life, and how she, in turn, helped teach Kaur those same lessons herself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Shortform note: Rosjke Hasseldine (The Mother-Daughter Puzzle<\/em><\/a>) further discusses the complicated relationship between misogyny and mother-daughter relationships. She warns that women shouldn\u2019t place too much blame on their mothers for teaching or enforcing misogynistic views\u2014while they aren\u2019t entirely innocent, they are themselves victims of the same beliefs. Instead, Hasseldine suggests that mothers and daughters approach their relationship as equals in similar circumstances. This dynamic allows them to empathize with each other and challenge misogynistic beliefs together instead of resenting each other or getting defensive.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
