After completing her degree in rhetoric studies she published her first collection of poems, milk and honey, in 2014. The internationally acclaimed collection sold well over a million copies gracing the New York Times bestsellers list every week for over a year. It has since been translated into over thirty languages. Rupi has performed her poetry across the world. Her photography and art direction are warmly embraced and she hopes to continue this expression for years to come.
