Reading Club. Home Body.

Rupi Kaur’s third book of poems, Home Body, translated into Spanish as Todo lo que necesito existe ya en mí by Elvira Sastre, includes some of the themes she became known for with her previous works (The Sun and Her Flowers and Milk and Honey): violence, feminism, indifference, rape, anxiety, stress, insecurity or self-love, but from a personal perspective in which she narrates the way she has coped over the last few years with depression, success or the pressure she has been under.
This sensitive and empathetic narration is accompanied by a direct and harsh tone, and as is common in her work, the use of lower-case letters, inspired by traditional Sikh scriptures, the community she was born into and whose fight also inspires her work.
To end the book, the delicateness of which is visible from the front cover, there is a series of illustrations by Kaur that accompany each poem.
