提升“英文言值”从这开始
近日，许久未露面的英伦女神艾玛●沃特森专访了纽约时报畅销书“Instapoet”作者兼诗人Rupi Kaur，她们俩都是Metoo运动的两个女性发声者，她们对文学和赋予女性更多权利充满了热情。
这次，女神艾玛沃特森首次以主持人的身份主导了这场专访，采访中诗人卢比·考尔告诉艾玛诗歌能够给人们带来的力量，因为它拥有治愈的能量！除了聊文学作品，她们还聊了女性平等的话题，以及围绕女性和性暴力展开了深入的探讨。
Rupi Kaur生于1992年，她是具有旁遮普族裔血统的加拿大诗人、作家、插图家。2014年，她自己出版了一本书，是她的诗歌散文集，书名为Milk and Honey（牛奶与蜂蜜）。2015年，Andrews McMeel Publishing出版社将该书正式出版。迄今该书已售出100多万册，曾经处于《纽约时报》图书排行榜首位。
Emma Watson recently announced that the next selection for her book club, Our Shared Shelf, is Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur. In a long-form video interview, Watson and Kaur talked about the book, self-publication, family, representation, Kaur’s Internet audience, and much more.
When Watson mentioned Kaur’s over 2.8 million Instagram followers, Kaur responded that her following was somewhat unfathomable.
It’s hard to grasp. It’s just pixels on the screen. So it comes to life only when it’s real life and two people are sitting together, we’re hugging and we’re actually having a conversation. That’s when it takes my breath away.
Watson brought up the disruptive and transgressive nature of Kaur’s work, which deals with the body, sexuality, abuse, menstruation, and more. Kaur said that even though her work has been received as radical, it never felt that way to her.
It’s crazy that it’s radical. I don’t feel like it’s even remotely radical. Every day I wake up and I’m like, I need to get some edge. Let’s do this.
Kaur also discussed self-love and confidence, describing it as a practice that must be worked on consistently.
My confidence during that time [while writing Milk and Honey] was amazing…I thought that would just stay around forever and I’d always be confident and just feel beautiful and not be down on myself all the time. And then suddenly, I don’t know how or why, but it dropped all over again. And I was like, what? How can I be sharing this message, but yet waking up every day and criticizing myself? And so I realized that self-love is a consistent thing that you have to work towards… It’s just like everyday work and you will never have it all figured out. You just have to be kind to yourself.
