Rupi Kaur certainly is not alone in the resurgent popularity of the modern poetry space, but she remains a standout star.

Rupi Kaur is said to be the superstar of the new age of poets that are posting their work on social media before being published. This Canada-based poet is one of the #instapoet community’s OG creators. We have huge admiration for Kaur, from femininity to trauma, she covers a wide range of topics in her books. Her poetry is simplistic and anything but traditional, that’s just how it goes.

 

She is a #1 New York Times Bestselling author and illustrator. Most noted for her books, Milk and Honey and The Sun and Her Flowers, full of short-form poetry and prose. Her first collection “Milk and Honey” sold over a million copies and has been translated into over thirty languages.

Her amassed 3.4 million followers on Instagram is a major accomplishment in itself. Kaur has leveraged her reach to expand her message and influence. From being featured in respected magazines like Cosmopolitan and Vogue to a book tour with sold out shows, love her or hate her Kaur is mastering the game. She empowers us to channel our inner rockstar, regardless of what anyone thinks.

Keep up with Kaur on Instagram (@rupikaur_) or on her website: rupikaur.com.
