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 influnce. 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 empower’s us to channel our inner rockstar, regardless of what anyone thinks.
