Abstract :
Poetry is Rupi Kaur?s way to express her feelings based on her selfexperiences. As an Indian-Canadian immigrant young poet, she writes poetry books in her mother language, Punjabi, to visually represent equalness. Kaur and her family immigrate to Canada in order to survive from anti-Sikhism and experience oppression, sexual abuse, trauma and discrimination. This research aims to analyze Subaltern voices and western hegemony practice contained in Kaur?s poetry books: milk and honey, the sun and her flowers, and home body using Gayatri Spivak?s Subaltern theory. Selected poems are picked based on the subaltern theory relation and qualitative research method are used. The result of the analysis shows that Subaltern voices found in Kaur?s poetry and her way of thinking interprets hegemony practice that Western culture is better than Eastern culture.
