Review: I hope this reaches her in time

I hope this reaches her in time by R.H. Sin
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

There’s some sections that are good. Bits and pieces, excerpts, that are poignant and observant. Even beautiful, perhaps.

I want to like this. But I don’t think I like it. It’s just not touching or human in the way poetry needs to be. It does not elicit a strong emotional reaction. I don’t see anyone within it. It’s just...words. It doesn’t succeed at delivering the message it aims to deliver, not really. It’s too meandering, too scattered.

It’s short, so I don’t have much more to say. Only that I wish those poignant sections were what made up the entire book.

There are good bits. They’re just not enough to save the collection as a whole.
