After rising to fame with her Instagram poetry, poetess Rupi Kaur has had quite an eventful last few years.<\/p>\n

The Canadian writer first started blazing her trail in 2013 as she began posting her poetry to first Tumblr and then Instagram. As her followers grew to the millions due to her relatable material, she released her first collection of poetry,\u00a0Milk and Honey<\/em>, to critical acclaim. The book was even chosen\u00a0for Emma Watson’s book club this year.<\/p>\n

Now, with the success of her second collection,\u00a0The Sun and Her Flowers,<\/em>\u00a0Kaur is taking her talents on the road and making a stop in Chi-town.<\/p>\n

On Monday, October 1st, after a sold-out tour through India and the UK, Kaur will visit the Chicago Theatre as one of\u00a010 stops on her American tour. According to the event page<\/a>, “a\u00a0Rupi Kaur show is a musical poetic theatrical masterclass.”<\/p>\n

Tickets went on sale today, August 3rd, and range from $25-$50.\u00a0Tickets for this unique theatrical performance can be purchased on\u00a0The Chicago Theatre’s website, Ticketmaster<\/a> or the venue’s box office.<\/p>\n
