Calling a Wolf a Wolf
by Kaveh Akbar
Poetry, to me, is a manner of unshackling. Poetry frees the mind of the mundane tongues it usually speaks in, and teaches it a vocabulary of understanding - of self and our fellow man. It lets light in, and lets light out unto the world too.
Kaveh Akbar's poetry accomplishes all of the above in language that is expansive and somehow intimate all the same. His words are tales of the soul through the body. Of feeling through touch, through (un)reality. It is everything I've wanted to read (and is in many ways why I write).
Calling a Wolf a Wolf is why poetry...is.
