Poetry books are light reading materials and they make for perfect gifts this Christmas.
The Sun and Her Flowers by Rupi Kaur
Instagram celebrity poet Rupi Kaur’s second collection of short poetry, The Sun and Her Flowers, is one of the best poetry books you can gift wrap this Christmas. The five-chapter book is accompanied by wonderful illustrations by Rupi herself. The book’s chapters are aptly titled Wilting, Falling, Rooting, Rising, and Blooming, representing the life cycle of a flower. Rupi Kaur’s 2017 masterpiece focused on women and their experiences. Each chapter represents specific themes and experiences. Wilting tackles heartbreak and loss. Falling is all about the loss of an important relationship. Rooting discusses issues such as female infanticide, immigration, and borders. Rising and Blooming embraces joy, finding love, accepting roots, herself, and the rest of the world. The Sun and Her Flowers is more than feminist literature, it is a celebration of life, hope, and faith.
The Color of Love by Raymond Quattlebaum
When it comes to poetry books you can gift wrap for friends this Yuletide season, it would be The Color of Love by Raymond Quattlebaum. It is a collection of inspirational poetry and prose from the author of another poetry book Poetry in Motion.

The poems in The Color of Love are remarkable and although quite personal, they certainly inspire readers to look at the positive side of life.
