rivermoose_sam 's review for:
Planting Gardens in Graves
by r.h. Sin
https://rivermoosebooks.wordpress.com/2018/03/11/netgalley-review-planting-gardens-in-graves/
I received an e-arc of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I feel similarly to this book as I do his others books - kind of kitschy, tumblr/instagram-esque poems. I like this volume better than some of his other books but not as much as the Whiskey Words volumes.
I still prefer the shorter poems to the longer poems, but they start to feel repetitive, all his books/poems are about love, heartbreak, male-feminism, slut-shaming etc. and he skits too far over the line into preachy and annoying more than I'd really like. The second person that pops up in some poems makes it feel like he's telling a woman how to act/feel in some cases - which is like, the opposite of the message he's saying which is ironic. His poems are kind of like horoscopes - general enough that most people can relate if they want to. The poems about family life, single mothers, miscarriages etc. were probably the best of them. The titular poem at the end is one of the best of his poem period.
Still enjoyable if you like these sorts of poetry books, definitely if you like RH Sin, and pretty well written.
