Book Review: Rest in the Mourning

You most likely have already seen r.h. Sin’s poetry floating around as quotes on Facebook pages such as Word Porn. In fact, that is exactly why I decided to buy one of his (to be honest, I’m not sure if the poet is male or female) books. I walked into the Barnes and Noble looking for a different poetry book, and ended up asking about r.h. Sin. Without even flipping through the pages, I decided to purchase the book. At first, when I started flipping through the pages, I was a bit disappointed. Most of the poems were very short. The exactly 3-5 lines one would see posted on said quote pages. Then, I realized the poems read like a story, and they didn’t need to be more than a couple lines because r.h. Sin did something that not many writers can. He conveyed pages and pages of emotions in a few short lines.

Despite wanting to read a few poems a day, I couldn’t seem to pull myself away from this book. Like I said, it read like a heartbreaking story that held within it life-altering pieces of wisdom. I’ll be honest, I haven’t read any modern poetry since I was a teenager. I adore poetry, but I tend to have preference towards the classics. I’m beyond grateful that I picked this book up. I have currently purchased another one of his poetry collections, and I am beyond excited to read it.

Even if you don’t like poetry, I highly suggest giving this a read.  Of course, I give this 5 out of 5 stars.
