Home Body

Rupi Kaur's third collection is a journey inward, moving through the past, present, and future as it explores the relationship each of us has with our own body and mind.

Written in her signature spare free verse with accompanying line drawings, the poems take up mental health, trauma and recovery, self-love, rest, sexuality, and empowerment. Kaur turns her attention from romantic love toward the harder, quieter work of coming home to oneself — accepting the body, tending to the mind, and finding worth from within rather than without.

Reflective and affirming, "home body" reads as an invitation to slow down, heal, and root yourself in self-acceptance.
