The book is peppered with examples of her past work, and perhaps my one complaint about this book is that I had hoped to read some new work. All the same, it was a joy to revisit some of my favourites and her greatest hits. It offers a variety of exercises that suit different styles and preferences of writing, such as free verse, haiku, sonnet, acrostic, etc.

When I heard that Rupi Kaur would have a new book out, I just went for it. I didn’t even read the description. Rupi is an auto-buy for me every time. So imagine my delight and surprise when this book turned out to be guided writing exercises rather than a book of new work. Overall, Healing Through Words is a must-read for anyone who is looking for a way to connect with their emotions and find healing in their pain. Kaur's words are a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is hope for a brighter tomorrow. Every step taken in mindfulness brings us one step closer to healing ourselves and the planet." - Thich Nhat HanhThe poems in the book are divided into four sections: hurting, loving, breaking, and healing.

It may not appeal to readers who are looking for more structured and formal guidance on poetry writing techniques and forms.

After seeing in person her touching performance in Sao Paulo, i bought the book and, in a way i still cant believe it, i had it signed by Rupi.Healing Through Words is a book that reminds us that we are all human and that we all experience pain and suffering in our lives.
