A kind letter to the lovelorn & the lost.
This was a very special read. I love it when poets take you on a journey, and Sin did that in this book. While it wasn't perfect, and I did find my attention lagging here and there, his view and respect for women was truly heart-warming.
My Favorite Quotes:
(And perhaps my favorite quote of the entire book)

she is a storm
a magnificent force

you're an experience
more than a woman
you are lightning striking earth
your presence is electrifying

Finding love is a journey of uncertainty. (This book contains profanity.)
some of this was ok, but some felt sort of weirdly fetishizing of "broken" women? idk i thought it was kind of creepy
I absolutely hated this book. It’s redundant, I think I read the same 6 poems over and over for 300 pages. It’s whiny, which would be forgivable if it wasn’t actually pretty misogynistic if you really look at it. He tries to explain women’s experiences and feelings and worth instead of focusing on the human experience, which he would actually have some context for. The format is boring, and even if you isolate individual poems they are juvenile and have no rhythm. To be honest I wouldn’t even actually call them poems.
I hated the book from the first poem, that was definitely not for me. Good luck to the next readers.
Excited to get the next one. Some of these hit home.
Unfortunately I just didn’t connect with this collection. I didn’t relate to many of the poems and I found it quite repetitive. I may try other collections of his but this one just wasn’t for me.
