juliasapphire 's review for:
Planting Gardens in Graves
by r.h. Sin
I was sent a copy by Andrews McMeel Publishing in exchange for an honest review
4.5 out of 5 stars
I adored this so much! I am a huge fan of Sin's work and have read everything he has published. "Planting Gardens in Graves" was not a disappointment! His writing is beautiful and I can find myself relating to almost every single poem. To me, its so special being able to see myself in a book and have my thoughts expressed into poetry. I have read his work during tough times and I can't even express how happy they have made me. This was very relatable and well thought-out. I am so happy people love Sin's work as much as I do, the topics discussed are so important.
This collection deals with love, heartbreak, feminism, degrading stereotypes, trust, brokenness and more.
The only reason I docked it a .5 is due to the fact that it is clear that this collection is targeted mainly towards heterosexual females. Though I think everyone can relate to this collection, the use of pronouns and female-male relationships does not adhere to everyone. I just think if someone who identifies as a homosexual male picks this up- most likely they would be able to relate to some degree but not to the parts in which there are a message to males to treat woman right romantically. It does not mention other relationships or that it could be a male-male relationship or a female-female relationship. Though I am a heterosexual female myself and I could relate to this significantly and the topics discussed but just wanted to acknowledge the pronouns used and who I feel this collection is most targeted towards.
