Sin has written another beautiful collection of poems

As always, Sin has written another beautiful collection of poems. His words never fail to touch me and put into words so many of the thoughts that run through my mind that I cannot find words to say myself. These poems make me scream HELL YEAH, make me cry, or just make me take a deep breath and say damn. You will not regret buying this. Already preordered his next work.

This says write a review, but honestly words cannot express how good this book is.
Going through a heartbreak it is so comforting reading these words and knowing someone feels the same but they're able to put it in words for you.

Beautiful.

This is the first time I've ever bought/read a compilation of poetry, and I'm very happy I did. I absolutely love r.h. Sin, and all of these poems are individually beautiful but have a sort of cohesiveness that makes this a great read. I currently keep this on my nightstand, and I'm looking forward to reading their other works.

Longer Than I Would Have Liked

Poetry is a very personal art and that makes it extremely difficult to review. Your enjoyment of poetry is colored by your experiences while your enjoyment of novels is not as connected to your past. Keep that in mind as you read my review.

I am torn between loving this collection and just enjoying it. The main impression that sticks with me that I adored some of the poems but that adoration diminished by the length of the collection. There were many poems that repeated the same subject matter with similar methods. It was almost as if this was supposed to be a series of collections instead of just a single book and that lessened my enjoyment overall.

However, I ended up having many favorite poems. The collection jumped back and forth between the subjects of heartbreak, love, and defense for his art and fame. It was interesting to see a male perspective of love and longing. (Typically, I read female poets.) I connected to many of the poems and have felt many of the things that were explored. Unfortunately, I felt like some of the poems were generic and not as personal as I want the poetry I read.

As for style, it is your standard modern poetry. The poems are typically short and minimal. There are less metaphors and the collection as a whole would be more relatable to the public. I enjoyed the style, but I feel the length and the style of the poetry did not mix well.

On a whole, I would probably only recommend this collection to fans of modern poetry and of R.H. Sin. I was a little underwhelmed but still enjoyed it a little bit. I might pick up another collection by him in the future.

I received this book from Andrews McMeel Publishing via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
