punjabi ਰੂਪੀ ਕੌਰ - october 4, 1992 - queen of the i n s t a p o e t s the term 'insta poet' is often touted when describing rupi. i asked what her thoughts were . she responded :
. it depends on the connotation, there's
some people that have used it positively because they're like : 'oh
this is incredible because i never read poetry but feel this in my
heart and i saw it through a platform that i used all the time' -
and then there's the other consideration where : 'this is insta
poetry and not real poetry' - that's interesting because i think
it's demeaning to my readers. many of whom are young women .
. . nella scrittura di rupi kaur non ci sono maiuscole quando comincio a
scrivere poesia alle superiori ho un profondo desiderio di scrivere
nella mia lingua madre. c’è bellezza nel suo disegno.
la gurmukhi è una scrittura punjabi che usa
solo il punto. nessun altro segno d’interpunzione. tutte le
lettere sono trattate allo stesso modo.
nessuna distinzione tra maiuscole e minuscole. mi piace questa
semplicità. quant’è simmetrica e assolutamente inequivocabile. per un
po’ cerco di scrivere poesia in punjabi. ma non ci riesco perché non so
utilizzare questa lingua in modo abbastanza viscerale. mi domando cosa
accadrebbe se includessi alcune sue caratteristiche nelle mie opere in
inglese. solo punti. tutto in minuscolo.
è così che nasce la forma visiva di
milk and honey. omaggio alla sua prima lingua, il gurmukhi, considerato sacro : nella scrittura gurmukhi tutte le lettere sono trattate allo stesso modo. mi piace questa
semplicità. questa simmetria e questo andare sempre avanti. è una
rappresentazione visuale di quello che vorrei vedere più spesso nel
mondo: uguaglianza. per proteggere questi piccoli dettagli della mia
lingua li includo in quest’altra lingua ... www.tropismi.it/rupi-kaur-parole-di-miele .
trovi che il messaggio della poesia sia
potenziato o annacquato dal mezzo social network ? She inherited her love of art
from her mother and began drawing and painting at five years old. She
continued her art into her teens, but at the age of seventeen began to
focus more in writing and performing. Uncomplicated and concise Kaur’s poetry has been criticized for being too simplistic. Parody accounts have shown up on Twitter that intend to show how easy it is to write a Rupi Kaur poem – the gist being you take any conversation, format it in all lowercase and insert random line breaks. With almost 2
million followers, Kaur has made her straightforward poetry about
love, heartbreak and womanhood a global sensation . Rupi Kaur non
ha bisogno di presentazioni: è la
poetessa di Instagram, ha
sovvertito il mercato editoriale dimostrando che la poesia e
l’autopubblicazione vendono. Questo grazie alla
popolarità acquisita sui social network, certo, ma i like non
bastano affinché un’opera letteraria funzioni. Ciò che
rende merito a Kaur è aver reso la poesia accessibile a chi usa i
social come veicolo principale per comprendere il mondo e sé stessi.
La sua fortuna è aver colto il compromesso perfetto fra l’aura della
poesia e il meccanismo che rende virale la parola scritta.
La sua è una lingua semplice ma non semplificata, immediata e che
parla per immagini potenti. Potremmo scrollarne le pagine come in un
feed e toccherebbe comunque il cuore .

the sun and her flowers
Rupi Kaur ha cominciato a scrivere poesie per guarire, per dare un nome a ciò che il corpo non dimentica, per accorgersi di essere ancora intera. la repubblica ...
being an immigrant is a funny little
thing. i’ve
spent a lot of time thinking about what it means for me. because
whether i like it or not- it has impacted a majority of my life.
i grew up.
like many of you immigrant children. teeter-tottering two very
different worlds. at home i had to be the obedient little girl who
did exactly as she was told- or suffer the consequences.
i spoke when spoken to.
could not change my appearance or attitude to fit in with the other
kids. that’s how the culture was. .
the making of my illustrations from
beginning to end : first i make a rough sketch of what comes to mind
when i read the poem . then i illustrate the drawing on adobe
illustrator using the trackpad on my laptop . yes i know there are
better tools out there 🙃🙃🙃 believe me i’ve tried allllll the
fancy digital pens and hated the feeling cause i’ve been doing it
this way since 2013 😂 i think i gotta stick with it .
.
what good am i
if i do not fill the plates
of the ones who fed me
but fill the plates of strangers

ora .
non piango per
infelicità
stiamo morendo
hai portato il
sole con te
ho teso la mano verso l'ultimo mazzo
di fiori
abbandonare la
sua terra
quando nevica . when snow falls i long for grass .
cosa c'è di più forte what is stronger than the human heart which shatters over and over and still lives .

home body In home body,
Rupi Kaur accompagna i lettori in un viaggio intimo e profondo
dentro di sé che ripercorre il passato, si sofferma sul presente e
guarda al futuro. Riflettendo su se stessa, ricorda ai lettori di
abbracciare il cambiamento, riempiendo ogni giorno la vita di amore,
accettazione, comunità, famiglia. Anche attraverso magnifiche
illustrazioni, affronta i temi della natura e dell'educazione, della
luce e dell'oscurità .
‘home body’ is
a love letter to the self . ...
i hope when this little piece of
my heart falls into your hands it meets you where you’re at .
of course i’m nervous . of course i can’t wait to hear
what you think !!! but mostly i’m grateful to share my
heart and art with you ... ... abuse is complicated . talking about it is hard . so when we're having these conversations in our daily lives let's do more listening - and less talking at survivors . fb/rk - 25.11.2020 . this is what
depression feels like . the suffocation .
the feeling frozen . stuck . trapped
in the suffering of your own mind . it’s like no
matter how far you run and you run and you run to escape this room -
there’s no way out . there’s no end to it .
you never hit a wall . or find a window . or
a light switch . it’s vast and all encompassing .
i'm in the darkest room of my life fb/k - 22.2.2021 .
i will never have ... while
writing it ... i realized if i didn’t learn to enjoy who i was in
the present - i wouldn’t know how enjoy who i was in the future. ... . what we lived through is living in us . lying beneath muscle and skin . sitting atop bones . there is no running away from the stories our bodies are carrying . there is only walking through what’s living within us . and i am going and going and going into the depths of my #homebody .
what we lived through . .

social
. i social media cambiano la natura della poesia ?
Alcune persone dicono che questa è solo
una cosa temporanea ma spero che non sia così.
I social media stanno cambiando così tante diverse industrie che il
mondo del libro è solo uno di questi. Credo sia
fantastico soprattutto per le persone che altrimenti non avrebbero
accesso all’industria editoriale o che altrimenti non avrebbero la
rete o le risorse per fare strada attraverso quella porta -rk . last week i landed in japan for a long overdue personal trip and i have to express my gratitude to this sacred land and its warm people. it has been such an incredible experience to be enriched in a culture so very different from my own. i am learning a lot and enjoying the space. the cities. the villages. the food. oh my god the food. it is magnificent !!! i’m in awe of many things here and can’t wait to share them with you over the next weeks. here is a page from the japanese edition of ‘milk and honey’ . it feels fitting to share this poem because the illustration was an interpretation of ’the great wave off kanagawa’ a famous world renowned woodblock print by the japanese artist hokusai. it’s been one of my favourite pieces of art since i was a little girl and now to be here. in the place where it began is humbling.
p.s.
it’s 11 a.m. right now and a delicious cup of coffee and fluffy
japanese pancakes await me in one of these bustling osaka streets .
i hope you’re taking care of yourselves. can’t
wait to share more. if you have any must see/must
do items - leave them in the comments !
i love you.
. . love for yourself . love for others . love to the world . its people. the earth . finding your passions . the fights that need to be fought . continuing to raise our voice against injustices .
doing . moving .
building . and striving for the light . .

so ... IT’S FINALLY OCTOBER MY FAV MONTH OF THE YEAR. PUMPKIN PIE. SCARVES. WARM DRINKS. SOCKS. AND LONG DRIVES AMIDST COLOURFUL LEAVES. MOST OF MY FAV PPL IN THE WORLD ARE BORN THIS MONTH. ALSO ME. okayyyyyyyyy now let’s let the joy INNNNNN.
i will spend my entire life writing
i will leave behind volumes upon volumes
of work. and they will barely scratch the surface.
IT'S OUR TIME
the making of a drawing .
step one . pen to paper . where it always
begins
can you believe. these lips . this hair . this skin . this gold . biscuit . sesame molasses . has always been mine . where was i . when the sun planted a part of itself in my skin and said . show them what the light can do .
an excerpt from a book i’m working on 😌
.
backstage
before a show : i pace around insistently.
rehearsing and going over lines. wondering with anxiety about how
i'm going to greet the audience. for me
that's the most difficult part. i can
perform poems all day. but to actually break the fourth wall and
talk to the audience. to say hello. to be in the moment
and make conversation.
all the while not
making a fool out of myself. it makes my
kneeeeees shakeeeee 😩 why else do you think i wear all those long
dresses for 🤷🏽♀ sure they're fabulous but it all started with me
trying to hide my trembling knees. i can't
help it. even when i meditate and feel fine ...
for some reason the knees just feel it all.
and expose me. so i got rid of pants altogether and
brought in the long dresses. they’re my
shield when i’m on stage. i've been writing a lot recently and just
sitting alone for hours a day. which is lovely.
but it makes me miss the stage. where i am held by all of you.
celebrating. and i came across this photo
that Jen Bernard Photography caught in a millisecond right before
one of my last shows. at that moment while i
was pacing. i couldn't wait for all of it to
be over. just so i could sit at home and
create. and now. i can't
wait for all of it to begin again. 🌟♥️
...
i’m shocked
at how common it is for people to think the elderly are disposable .
like people have nothing to offer once they hit a certain age .
when in reality everyone is a gift .
if we just took the time
to get to know them .
me during this entire snowstorm .
i am of the
earth .
you
do not just wake up and become the butterfly
one thing
i’ve learned about myself during quarantine is how impatient
i am. i struggle with sitting still. i struggle with waiting.
whatever i set out to do - i want the result right away - which of
course is impossible because nothing comes easy and quick. i
struggle to sit down day after day and do the repetitive and tedious
work of writing a book. the process is mentally and emotionally
challenging. over the past 7 months i’ve had to become friends with
patience in order to finish writing book 3. and do you wanna know
how i feel about it now that i’m done? i realize the fun part wasn’t
finishing it. i was focused on the wrong thing this whole time. i
thought the end result of all my hard work was the award. but the
award was having the privilege to do work. excuse my corniness 😂
but some things just gotta be corny. this whole time- the fun part-
was doing the patient work of writing every single day whether i
wanted to or not. finishing was actually underwhelming. the
exciting. brilliant. wonderful part was waking up and not knowing
what was going to happen. would i spend the day writing stuff i
loved? would i spend it anxious and crying ? would i struggle? break
down? relax? go see friends? who knowsssssssss. every day was a
mystery and turned out to be the opposite of what i expected. and
that’s the journey. that’s living. the end result will happen as
long as i do the everyday work. and life kindly humbles me about
that every time i forget 😂♥️

AMAZZONIA i’m deeply saddened
by the destruction in the amazon.
we should all be heartbroken. we should
all be saddened and outraged. this is the only home we have and
we’re watching it burn to the ground. i want action. i want us to do
all we can. which starts with listening to scientists about climate
change and environmental degradation. as well as reexamining
corporate misuse of what little rainforest cover we have left. and
how we — through the governments we elect and the companies we
support — are willful collaborators of our own destruction.
look at what
they've done |
