Description

Born in New Brunswick, NJ, and later moving to Florida, r.h. Sin comes from a place where a life of pain is the norm and destruction is a constant. Through an early love for reading and writing, r.h. Sin was able to pull away from some of the social distractions that plagued so many of his peers. After returning to the northeast and moving to New York in pursuit of love, the young modern poet found that and much more. --This text refers to the paperback edition. "R.H. Sin uses poetry to share his accounts of heartbreak and unhealthy relationships. He speaks of his muse, who is every woman who has struggled to find love and felt like she wasn't worthy of it."xa0(Dominique Etzel, Alloy)"That [past] relationship continues to fuel his writing, which encourages women to dump lesser men, avoid jerks, and stand up for what they want."xa0(Sheila Marikar, The New Yorker)"...deliciously sizable...final book in his groundbreaking trilogy."xa0(Adrian Liang, Omnivoracious) --This text refers to the paperback edition.

Features & Highlights

  • r.h. Sin’s final volume in the Whiskey, Words, and a Shovel series expands on the passion and vigor of his first two installments. His stanzas inspire strength through the raw, emotional energy and the vulnerability of his poems. Relationships, love, pain, and fortitude are powerfully rendered in his poetry, and his message of perseverance in the face of emotional turmoil cuts to the heart of modern-day life. At roughly 300 pages, this culminating volume will be his lengthiest yet.

Dense.

This could have easily been two shorter books, and that may have been better, but it was still a solid collection. If you liked the first two volumes, this is more of the same- in a good way.

Beautiful!!!

I love this author. My daughter introduced me to his book, Rest in the Mourning, and I was hooked from there. I am collecting all of his books. I have about five so far. I am a lover of poetry. His writings seem to be based on love, pain and redemption. This book is no exception. Simply marvelous!
