The moment that changed my life: poet Rupi Kaur opens up about her depression battle

Poet Rupi Kaur, whose world tour begins May 2, can only marvel at her meteoric rise in the publishing world. In 2014, she self-published her first collection of poems, “milk and honey” – after which, she thought she’d apply to law school.
