Book description
A Beautiful Composition of Broken is a quiet storm that r.h. Sin delivers with the same deftness he brought to his earlier Whiskey, Words & a Shovel books. In this collection he turns back the pages of pain and writes them into poems and short prose that feel like gentle hands on a bruised heart.
From the first line you sense the author's intent: to remind the wounded that beauty is not a luxury but an inherent part of being human, even when society refuses to see it. Sin takes us through landscapes of sorrow-misunderstood friendships, broken promises, labels that chain people in invisible cages-and lifts them with lyrical grace. The verses are unpretentious yet profound; the prose is crisp and intimate, as if he were speaking directly into your ear.
What makes this volume stand out is its dual role as a bridge and a revelation. It connects the raw emotional energy of his earlier work to the more contemplative tone of Planting Gardens in Graves, showing that growth can emerge from even the most desolate soil. The influence of Samantha King's Born to Love, Cursed to Feel is evident but never overbearing; Sin reclaims those themes with his own voice, turning them into a unique tapestry.
Readers will find themselves humming along to lines that echo their own struggles and celebrating moments where hope flickers through the cracks. It's not just a collection of words-it's a companion for anyone who has ever felt invisible or misunderstood. A Beautiful Composition of Broken invites you to see your own scars as art, reminding us all that beauty can be found in the most broken places.
