R.H. Sin's second volume continues the passion and vigour of his previous publication. His stanzas inspire strength through the pure emotional energy and the vulnerability of his poems. Relationships, love, pain, and fortitude are powerfully rendered in his poetry, and his message of perseverance in the face of emotional turmoil cuts to the heart of modern-day life.

R.H. Sin's poems are often only a few lines long, and yet the emotional punch of his language gives these words an enduring power beyond the short page. He doesn't back away from the pains and struggles of life and love, and yet his determined, unapologetic voice provides a measure of comfort and a message of perseverance that is at once realistic and indomitable. This blend of determination and painful vulnerability gives his poetry a distinctive, engaging flavour.

About the Author

Born in New Brunswick, NJ, later moving to Florida, R.H. Sin comes from a place where a life of pain is the norm and destruction is a constant. Through a love for reading and writing at a very young age, R.H. Sin was able to pull away from some of the social distractions that plagued so many of his peers. Returning to the northeast and moving to New York in pursuit of love and an opportunity to find success, the young, modern poet is doing just that.

Industry Reviews

"R.H. Sin uses poetry to share his accounts of heartbreak and unhealthy relationships. He speaks of his muse, who is every woman who has struggled to find love and felt like she wasn't worthy of it." (Dominique Etzel, Alloy)
"That [past] relationship continues to fuel his writing, which encourages women to dump lesser men, avoid jerks, and stand up for what they want." (Sheila Marikar, The New Yorker)
