Canon
•
Kaur tells Holiday that 'Rupi Kaur the poet' became a character the public consumed. The real person behind the poetry felt disconnected from the persona. Reclaiming authenticity required stripping away the performed identity.
•
Kaur credits a daily meditation practice with sustaining her creative output. She frames meditation not as relaxation but as training — strengthening the attention and emotional regulation needed to access deep creative states.
