"Instapoet" Rupi Kaur on her journey to New York Times bestseller list
Punjabi-Canadian poet Rupi Kaur went from being an Instapoet, showing her poems on Instagram, to making it onto the New York Times bestsellers list with her first published poetry collection Milk and Honey. Her short poems - simple, raw lines that tackle tough topics such as rape, domestic violence and alcoholism - have attracted hundreds of thousands of readers both on and offline.
