Home Body

De: Rupi Kaur

Narrado por: Rupi Kaur

Rupi Kaur performs the first-ever recording of home body, her third number one New York Times best-selling collection of poetry and prose. This production was performed and recorded in 2021 along with the brand-new audio edition of milk and honey and the first audio recording of her second collection, the sun and her flowers.

Kaur constantly embraces growth, and in home body, she walks listeners through a reflective and intimate journey visiting the past, the present, and the potential of the self. home body is a collection of raw, honest conversations with oneself - reminding listeners to fill up on love, acceptance, community, family, and embrace change. Themes of nature and nurture, light and dark, rest here.

i dive into the well of my body

and end up in another world

everything i need

already exists in me

there’s no need

to look anywhere else

Vibrant and spectacular…minus the politics.

I love Kaur’s poems. I listen to them on 1.5x speed, which adds an additional hue to her colorful visions. This book was no different. It was a beautiful experience, one i will live again.
However, there was one snag in this book for me and that was the politics. Another reviewer pointed out that, to them, this book felt thrown together and not succinct. I got that vibe from the blatant political poems. All but maybe 1 or 2 didn’t feel in alignment with the other poems. And some were literal news headlines I’ve heard before. If that’s what Kaur wants to write about, I will gladly listen. But it needs to be her thoughts and in her voice, not the regurgitation of other people’s.

Amazing

This helped me TREMENDOUSLY understand so much about myself. I no longer feel alone in this world. Listening to the audio was even better than I could’ve imagined! Very much worth the buy for the physical copy and the audio version!

Her writing was more current and relatable to 2020

I loved her use of descriptive language to capture mundane moments and details. They make a seemingly mundane thoughts into something extraordinary. I’m a homebody 40 yr old and work from home so I guess that’s why I’m able to relate pretty well. Some ideas she wrote I don’t necessarily connect with because we have extremely different upbringing but her use of imagery makes me understand what she is feeling. It makes me have empathy and I hope to achieve that same talent that she has.

I am never alone, there is a community within me.

I feel like this was a love letter to my soul, every detail was purposeful, thank you Rupi.

She did it AGAIN!!

Love this work, everything I expected and more!! So raw, vulnerable and insightful! Thank you!

Spoke to My Soul but I Miss The illustrations

This time I decided to pre-order one of my favorite creative's newest creations through audible. It was truly a treat to hear the intended emotions for pieces by the author! However, I missed the illustrations that typically Rupi Kaur’s printed work possesses. I wish audible provide supplementary material for these illustrations. Overall wonderful experience!

Great

All her books have made me feel seen and understood. I love it, must read

Amazing!

Finished book in one day! It’s a mirror to my life and I am so changed by it!
