Originally released in 2015, this re-rerelease packs the same punch as the first version, but makes an even greater connection with the soul of the reader. Each piece has been re-seen and revamped to reflect the author’s continuing journey with his partner, Samantha King, without whom this book would not exist. Samantha is the muse, the “she” the writer speaks of; she is every woman who has felt like she wasn’t good enough, and every woman who struggles to find love.
Book Review:
In a previous blog post, I said that I wanted to start reading more modern poetry; therefore, I bought a few books full of modern poetry. I bought all 3 from r.h. Sin's whiskey words & a shovel set as well as a few more. At first, I was skeptical of reading poetry by a man. I didn't believe that his words would be able to resonate with me. How wrong was I? At least, in this case, I was 100% wrong. I felt something ethereal in every poem. This may be due to the fact that the poetry is inspired by the relationships his current partner has experienced as well as her feelings of inadequacy, but nevertheless, many of the poems spoke to my feminity.
If you are trying to get into more modern poetry that really speaks to the current social climate, I would start here. I am really looking forward to reading the rest of this set. Personally, I find it very hard to review these books, as there is no true plot or characters to discuss, but just know that everyone will resonate with these poems for one reason or another. I truly feel that anyone above 16 years of age should be reading these poems.
