Calling a Wolf a Wolf by Kaveh Akbar

challenging emotional funny reflective sad

I’m so glad I read this collection together with a group. These were some hard poems both in the content (mental health, addiction, recovery) and in how challenging some of the writing was to understand. His use of imagery is so inventive and I loved that. And even if I couldn’t quite understand some of his poems, I felt them. I really appreciated the arc of this collection, starting from addiction to recovery and finishing with sobriety.
