A few of these poems resonated, some made me think of they ways I’ve hurt others, but most weren’t for me.

❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜🩷🤎🖤🩶🤍❤️🔥These pieces are about loving and accepting your worth and settling for nothing less. He writes for and about his love. The woman he loves, that is. And this is not only admirable, but beautiful.
Everyone who is on a journey of self discovery should read this!

0 stars. Read half of it, and then I couldn’t read anymore. It was the same “poem” each page, just reworded. I feel bad for the sucker that paid $56 for this book.
actual rating: 3.25 ☆
+1: content for intended audience; honestly if I had read this book during my sophomore year of high school instead of my sophomore year of university, I think it would have struck a lot deeper of a chord. but, being able to look back and think "wow, these were words I needed to hear" is kinda whacky.
-0.5: formatting; the font was nice, but there was a distinct lack of punctuation throughout a lot of the poems that bothered me a bit, and I also personally disliked the way poems that took up more than a page were done.
+1: vibe; I genuinely liked the vibes of this book. it's very 2015 in the ways the poetry is written, and i like it
-0.25: overuse of title words
+0.5: fourth wall breaks; i always think those are cool, and the ones throughout got me.
-0.5: sensitive content; I wouldn't recommend this to anyone under 16 because of some of the poems in the collection, especially the ones concerning harm in any capacity or the strange sex allusions. not my style, but if it's what r.h. sin felt the need to write about then go off, my guy.
+0.5: flow; I love when poetry collections follow a cohesive storyline, and while I believe this one did, it wasn't glaringly obvious. I am glad there's a resolution, regardless.
-0.5: capitalisation; this could probably just fall under formatting, but I feel like this needs its own place on here. if an author is going to use roman numerals to number parts of a poem, then maybe don't capitalize your I's, especially if nothing else is capitalised to begin with!
+0.25: I enjoyed it much better than the other collection of his that I read :)

¡Aaaggghhh! ¿Por qué tardé tanto en agarrar este libro? Llegué a conocerlo gracias a una amiga que me preguntó si lo había leído, y le dije que no. Lo busqué en Goodreads y la descripción no decía mucho y, bueno, basándome en el título, pensé que iba a ser una serie de quejas sobre la vida y blah blah blah. Además, eso es lo que vi en muchas reseñas. Y por eso no lo leí... Hasta que decidí darle una oportunidad. Y. LO. AMÉ.
Whiskey, Words, and a Shovel es el primer tomo de una trilogía de poemas. El trabajo de R.H. Sin es magnífico, fluido, dulce, empalagoso, triste y melancólico. Fue tan bello leer cada poema, sobre todo porque no se hizo pesado un ningún aspecto y había un poco de todo en términos generales. Para aquellos que aman los poemarios de Amanda Lovelace y Rupi Kaur, tal vez quieran echarle un vistazo a los libros de R.H. Sin. ¡AMÉ DEMASIADO ESTA LECTURA y sin duda me voy a leer los dos libros que siguen! Son poemas hermosos que les recomiendo muchísimo.
Some of the poems are beautiful. It uses simple diction that easily to understand but also making some of it sounds like some lines from fb status.
It doesn't worth the price.
