Calling a Wolf a Wolf | Kaveh Akbar

Pickpick

I rarely find an instance where a book of poems exceeds my expectations. This book, though, cuts through my expectations and builds itself a home in my mind. As Frank Bidart aptly sums the collection; “Surface and depth consistently turn into each other,” creating a collection that stands out in both nuanced intricacy and striking consciousness.

In 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.”
