Media Review: Whiskey Words and a Shovel 2

   R.H Sin's 2016 poetry follow-up to Whiskey Words and a Shovel was a great addition to his writing portfolio. From short little sentences such as: "Be careful who you make your memories with," to longer poems such as She Is You 3, which takes up three pages the words written make you think about your own life in relation to his words. All 164 pages not only take you on the journey through his relationships but it will make you remember all of yours. His words are straight to the point but just vague enough to be art. This is a great book for a flight or long road trip, just don't be the one driving, but to truly appreciate any book of poetry it must be read a few times to grasp everything. I give this a 8/10. It has a very minimalist cover that I like. However, if you go the writers Instagram he is selling the books for $10 were I paid $16 when I bought it from Barnes and Nobles so that was a little off setting to me.
