“Some boys aren‘t born
they bubble up from the earth‘s crust”
Kaveh Akbar‘s first poetry (chap)book. Get past the horrible cover and dive into the poetry of ghosts and regrets
pickIn only 45 pages Akbar left me gasping at the emotional intensity of this short collection and in utter awe of the chapbook‘s final two lines; “The boat I am building / will never be done.”

pickThis one is going to take a while to recover from. So unsettling and perfect. Cameo by Jimmy, of course.

How you know it's a good book of poetry: you can't resist annotations because it's made you think so much.
Yay for poetry! Bought this based on a fellow poet's recommendation. One poem in and not disappointed!
