Who published Milk and Vine?
Let’s go back to the beginning. Milk and Vine was first published on Amazon by 18-year-old Emily Beck and 19-year-old Adam Gasiewski late last October as a joke. The young couple, both first-year students at Temple University, had decided to try to publish “some sort of book” on a whim after one of their friends had gotten a lot of praise for publishing their own website. For inspiration, Beck and Gasiewski went to Barnes and Noble and wandered the aisles until Milk and Honey caught their eye.
How many lines are there in Milk and Vine?
However, for the two books, that’s about where the resemblance stops. Unlike Rupi Kaur’s well-lauded prose, the hyperminimalist, three-to-four-line poems that grace the pages of Milk and Vine don’t paint scenes of breakups or moments of personal growth, but instead engage the reader by alluding to an entirely different — yet equally universal — experience: Vines.
Is Milk and Vine a poetry book?
At first glance, it’s pretty easy to mistake Milk and Vine for the Instagram-famous poetry book Milk and Honey. (The latter is described on Amazon as “a collection of poetry and prose about survival.”) Both are matte black, with uncapitalized white Times New Roman font gracing their covers and feature a nature-inspired line-drawing on the bottom half. Inside it’s more of the same, sparse pages with just a few lines of poetry — if you can even call it that — surrounded by wide expanses of white space. The Times New Roman font (still totally without punctuation or capitalization, of course) is occasionally accompanied by a small sketch. Every inch practically screams: This was made to go on your Tumblr feed!!!
Adam (19) and Emily (18) were in a Barnes & Noble bookstore a few weeks ago when they stumbled upon the bestseller book of poetry from Rupi Kaur, milk and honey
Kaur is a Canadian writer who originally self-published milk and honey on Amazon in 2014. A year later, the book was picked up by a publisher and made its way to the New York Times bestseller list where it remained for 52 weeks.
After reading a few pages of the book, Adam and Emily were inspired to write their own poetry and ultimately decided to base it on the much-loved (and deceased) video platform, Vine
"We watched several hours of Vine compilations to find our favorite videos, and then used those scripts to form our book," Adam told BuzzFeed News.
