Rupi Kaur [CANCELLED] at Orpheum Theatre Minneapolis

2022 is the year Rupi Kaur will be taking the world by storm, travelling for her world-wide tour to different countries to share her unique and honest poetry. Her tour is acutely needed as we have all felt the adversities of the last few years, and Kaur will be tackling the issues she personally faced whilst in isolation, yet also drawing the audience in with a sense of unity. Rupi Kaur has a direct eloquence to her style and can cut to the bone of the poem’s subject, displaying emotions that are intricate and personal, yet relatable. Her tone and punctuation are stark and direct, yet the manner in how she handles the emotions is with attention and care. Her three collections, ‘milk and honey’, ‘the sun and her flowers’ and ‘homebody’ are all best-selling collections, each of the poems paired with illustrations drawn by Kaur. When ‘homebody’ was published in 2020 it debuted as number #1 on many global best-selling lists. The collection is a journey of the past and present, with raw and honest dialogues with oneself. Kaur’s tour is a timely event that will remind us of the precious things and strength we need to live through life rather than just survive.
