Calling a Wolf a Wolf
by Kaveh Akbar
I would give this 3.5 stars. There was a lot of really excellent language and turns, but some of the stylistic choices (indents instead of breaks, lack of punctuation/end stop, use of the first line as a title) were ones that I personally am not a huge fan of. That’s not to say they aren’t good; poetry, more than any other genre to me, can be good without appealing to everyone.
I liked the themes of religion, the body, animal vs. man, and thoughts on existence. I didn’t feel as drawn to the portraits of an alcoholic, though these may be more meaningful to someone experiencing addiction. I think I would read more work by this author.
