About this Item

Published in 2020 by Andrews McMeel Publishing, home body is Rupi Kaur's deeply introspective third poetry collection, exploring themes of healing, selfhood, mental health, and reconnection with the self. Structured in four sections - mind, heart, rest, and awake - the book blends spare, declarative verse with Kaur's signature line drawings, all created by the author.

This copy is in Fine condition, with a clean, crisp cover, sharp corners, and bright, unmarked pages throughout. The binding is tight and square, with no creasing to the spine and no remainder marks, inscriptions, or library indicators. Edition/printing is confirmed by the full number line ending in '1,' indicating a first edition, first printing.

Rupi Kaur has said that home body was largely written before the COVID-19 pandemic, but it was finalized and released during it, and the themes ended up aligning uncannily with what people were experiencing in 2020. The book's focus on solitude, mental health, stillness, burnout, and 'coming home' to oneself resonated strongly once lockdowns began - even though it wasn't conceived as a pandemic diary.

Rupi Kaur (b. 1992) is a Canadian poet, illustrator, and performer whose minimalist style and emotionally direct language have helped redefine contemporary poetry for a global audience. Rising to prominence through social media and spoken-word performance, she is best known for milk and honey, the sun and her flowers, and home body, all international bestsellers translated into numerous languages.
