Pilgrim Bell: Poems by Kaveh Akbar

5.0

I was so excited to pick up this collection ever since I first read “The Palace” in the New Yorker and heard Akbar read it live. It’s possibly one of my favorite poems ever. It delves deeply into spirituality and humanity. I can’t say much more critically, because I don’t consider myself a poet, but this is an amazing collection that I will cherish. Akbar is a beautiful writer and his poems are extremely melodic.
