Ljubavne pjesme

by Rupi Kaur, Ira Martinović (Translator)

Ljubavne pjesme zbirka su koja na jednom mjestu okuplja najintimnija i najnježnija promišljanja Rupi Kaur o ljubavi – njezinoj čaroliji, kaotičnosti, snazi i ranjivosti. Poezija koja podsjeća da ljubav postoji i da se za nju uvijek vrijedi boriti.

Od objavljivanja svjetskog bestselera mlijeko i med, poezija Rupi Kaur postala je globalni fenomen i izvor utjehe, osnaživanja i emotivne istine za milijune čitatelja diljem svijeta. U ovoj zbirci autorica donosi pažljivo odabrane stihove iz svojih ranijih knjiga, objedinjene u cjelinu posvećenu ljubavi u svim njezinim oblicima.

Ljubavne pjesme slave ljubav kao iskustvo koje je istovremeno nježno i snažno, krhko i postojano. Rupi Kaur piše o bliskosti, gubitku, ponovnom pronalaženju sebe i drugoga, o emocijama koje oblikuju odnose i unutarnje svjetove. Minimalističkim stilom i snažnim emocijama, ova zbirka nudi prostor za prepoznavanje, utjehu i tiho razumijevanje.

Ova zbirka poezije namijenjena je čitateljima koji vole emotivnu, suvremenu poeziju koja bez uljepšavanja govori o iskustvu ljubavi, ranjivosti i povezanosti. Rupi Kaur kroz jednostavne, ali snažne stihove otvara teme intimnosti, gubitka, rasta i iscjeljenja i čini to na način koji odjekuje kod čitatelja različitih generacija.

About the author

A breakout literary phenomenon and #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Rupi Kaur wrote, illustrated, and self-published her first poetry collection, 'milk and honey' in 2014. Next came its artistic siblings 'the sun and her flowers' and ‘home body’, both debuting at #1 on bestseller lists across the world. These collections have sold more than 11 million copies and have been translated into over 43 languages. Most recently in 2022- she released her 4th book ‘Healing Through Words’ which is a journey of guided writing exercises to help the reader explore their creativity.

As she has done from the very beginning, Rupi self-produced ‘Rupi Kaur Live’, the first poetry special of its kind, which debuted on Amazon Prime Video in 2021.

Rupi Kaur graces stages across the globe on sold-out world tours. These shows are a poetic theatrical experience interlaced with her own touch of stand-up. Her work touches on love, loss, trauma, healing, femininity, and migration. She feels most at home when creating art, performing her poetry onstage, and spending time with family and friends.

si jamais vous comptiez l'acheter pour son contenu : sachez qu'il s'agit d'un recueil qui contient certains de ses poèmes les plus appréciés de ses précédents recueils, donc rien de nouveau...

en revanche si vous souhaitez l'acheter pour l'objet livre : foncez, il est si beau,
je suis absolument fan des illustrations qui changent totalement de ce qu'on a pu voir dans ses précédents recueils, donc rien que pour ça, ça en vaut la peine,

vivement un prochain (vrai) recueil avec des nouveaux poèmes maintenant...

je termine avec l'un de mes préférés ❤️‍🩹

"what is stonger
than the human heart
which shatters over and over
and still lives"

[Emma Griffioen · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fairly repetitive since I have read most of her collections, but still a lovely little collection!

[Karol · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely beautiful!

Selections of her love poems from her previous published collections.

Two poems stood out as a reflection of my husband:

Page 68
my favorite thing about you is your smell
you smell like
earth
herbs
gardens
a little more
human than the rest of us

Page 41
they should feel like home
a place that grounds your life
where you go to take the day off

— the one

I was absorbed in the intimacy and feeling of each poem.

Every time I read or reread poems by Rupi Kaur, parts of me that I didn’t realize needed healing are touched.

[Tiana Ferenčić · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rupi je sabrala sve svoje ljubavne pjesme iz prethodnih zbirki i napravila ovu, posvećenu samo tom intenzivnom osjećaju privrženosti. Tematizira se ljubav u svim njezinim oblicima, većinom je to u partnerskome odnosu, ali i o učenju kako voljeti sebe. Osim toga, u svoje pjesme s lakoćom ubacuje tematiku fizičke bliskosti i seksualnosti. Sve su pjesme popraćene njezinim autorskim ilustracijama na koje smo već navikli, no ovoga su puta u boji pretpostavljam da je to zbog toga što, kako na početku kaže, sada kraj sebe ima njega uz kojega je procvjetala.

Za kraj, pjesma koja mi se najviše svidjela u ovoj zbirci.

kako voliš sebe
vole te i drugi
to uče od tebe

Mama
This was
Garbage
That you
Put
In a bin

[Kimberly · Rating 4 out of 5]

As this is a compilation of love poems from previous works by this author, I've read most of these poems before. I quite enjoy Kaur's writing for it's spareness and directness. Some readers are critical of her style, but I find that her words resonate with me, even comfort me at times. An easy, gentle read.

[Marzipan · Rating 2 out of 5]

This book is aesthetically very pleasing, beautiful artwork and colors, even stickers are included in the back. Really gorgeous. The poems however lacked depth and generally fell flat since some poems were one liners, that conveyed rarely anything unique or a new perspective. Most of the time it was just a single sentence on a two page spread.

“It was as though
Someone had slid ice cubes
Down the back of my shirt
-orgasm”

This would be a great line in a romance novel, but as a poem it’s not working. That goes for quite a few of the poems. There were however some longer poems that I did enjoy and that were really good. I wish she would full poems more than those one liners, but the latter made her famous, so probably not.

Gorgeous illustrations🩷 I’m trying to read more poetry this year & this was lacking a lot of depth for me.

Une étoile de plus parce que les dessins sont beaux

[Casually Bookish Emma · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved revisiting these pieces in a new way ❤️❤️

[Kait Stadnyk · Rating 5 out of 5]

I usually am not even into poetry but this was kinda perfect

[Evalynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

I should have realized that this was just a collection republishing previous works of Rupi Kaur, but despite being a bookseller, I cannot read. That is to say, it is not a new book. I got excited and bought it, and wow, what a cute pink cover! Also hey look, there are bonus stickers at the end. :) Two pages do not even have a poem at all, only a drawing.

[tess lindbloom · Rating 5 out of 5]

Goodness I love all of Rupi Kaur’s work. This is such a beautiful collection of her love poems & has gorgeous colorful artwork. Happy to have this added to my Rupi collection 😌

[Kate Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

for the love of my life
i am trying my best to have hope
i'll keep greeting each morning
with an i will
when it feels like i can't
i will
i will
i will
meet a day that will melt me
i will move and the sadness
will fall off my shoulders
to make room for joy
i will be full of color
i will touch the sky again

[K.B. reads · Rating 2 out of 5]

From an artistic standpoint, this book was visually appealing. I enjoyed the artwork and the extras included. However, from a writing standpoint, I was disappointed that this was all poems from her other books. I’ve read her earlier works so nothing was new to me. I would’ve enjoyed new material. The anniversary editions and collections of old works aren’t for me.

2 stars solely for the aesthetic and art

[Natasha Ahdal · Rating 5 out of 5]

A lovely way to reflect on her love poems since i read them years ago. Interesting to see how meanings change over time and based on who you have in your life 💖 Just wish there were more of her collections!

[Olivia · Rating 4 out of 5]

Love the Valentine’s cards and the illustrations are beautiful. I wish there were a few new poems, but otherwise, a great collection.

[Tal · Rating 4 out of 5]

Beautiful collection. Every time I read Kaur’s poetry, new lines stand out to me. I loved how all of these poems fit together, and the illustrations are a nice touch.

[Sadie Anne🌼 · Rating 4 out of 5]

Always love her poems. These were cute.

[Erin · Rating 3 out of 5]

The book is adorable and the art is nice. However, if you’re a fan of hers this is all recycled work.

[Caitlin Davidson]

I didn’t know how to rate this because these poems just don’t hit like they used to… love the cute lil drawings though

Feel good poetry 💗

[Elisa Castiglioni · Rating 5 out of 5]

come tutti i suoi libri porta il lettore in una dimensione di profondità senza pudore , senza nascondere cose non dette.

Reviving that lover dog in me!

[Robyn Covell]

A very giftable book for the Lovebirds, but not my favorite Rupi Offering.

[Sara Virasami · Rating 5 out of 5]

I feel like every time Rupi releases a collection, it's my new favourite- but this one was pure magic.

Blame it on the season of Love, but she just gets it. I love, love, and I loved these. Deep, real, and raw honest emotion.

[Aida Hansen · Rating 5 out of 5]

Although none of the poetry in this release are new, still loved the illustrations and the reminder of rupi's pull
