Rest In The Mourning by R.H. Sin

Poetry collection that explores relationships and loneliness.
I really like his writing style and words of wisdom.
He is the significant other of another poet I read recently. Samantha King.
All in all this was a quick read and I took away a lot from it. He has become one of my new favorites.  I will definitely be buying more of his works.

Heartless by Marissa Meyer

Heartless by Marissa Meyer is a fantasy standalone novel. It is essentially a back story as to how The Red Queen became The Red Queen and how she became so any/aggressive. I had high hopes for this book, as my most anticipated book of 2016. However, it really fell flat for me, and I found it hard to get through . Summary: Cath wants to open a bakery, but her parents want her to marry The King of Hearts. During all of the parties, and meetings with the King, Cath falls in love with the King's Joker, "Jest". Despite the unwillingness of her parents, or anyone else, Cath is determined to leave Hearts and begin a new life and open her bakery and live happily ever after with Jest. But that would be too easy...Through a series of events, Cath becomes bitter and angry and revengeful....And...The Queen of Hearts. The story was slow moving and I found some parts unnecessary. All in all is was a decent whimsical story with a not-so-happy ending. That's the thing I most liked...

Beat Generation Writers/Poets

Image
I have always been fascinated with "The Beat Generation". These writers expressed what it meant to be "exhausted", "beat down" by the world. They expressed themselves via literary purge. I feel as though I connect to downtrodden and depressing works of writing, and I am drawn to the Beat writers simply because I feel as though we are kindred spirits. I was, however, born 30 years too late. The Beat Scene began in the 1950s. In a culture of rebellion and non-conformity. People looking fora "social revolution". The term "Beat" was coined by Allen Ginsberg and he chose this because the writing felt "beat up". They did not agree with the Capitalism that the country was facing after WWII. The writing is bold and straight forward. In your face type stuff that was uncommon for the time period. The "founders " of The Beat Generation met at Columbia University for the first time in the 1940s. Jack Kerouac and Alle...
