Calling a Wolf a Wolf
by Kaveh Akbar
“paradise lies / at the feet of mothers I will believe you when you tell me your dreams / please mother me kiss all my secret rashes I am awake and will be” (20)
“I wish he were here now / he could be here / this cave is big enough for everyone / look at all the diamonds” (65)
“What I’m trying to say is I think it’s okay to accelerate around / corners, to grunt back at the mailman and swallow all / your laundry quarters” (69).
I dog-eared so many poems in WOLF that it became silly. Even the poems I didn’t usually had lines that made me shake my head in wonder. Love some of these descriptions of Akbar’s work: “a poetic that (often) suggests the infinite within each object” and “critical tenderness.” I think WOLF may be my new favorite poetry collection?
