Calling a Wolf a Wolf by Kaveh Akbar

5.0

2023 is the year of rereads for me because I only brought 20 books with me to my new home.

So of course I had to pick up this one. Arguably (actually not arguably, literally) the single most influential book of my poetic career. Not a single other boon has shifted the way I write more than this one. Akbars poetry resonated with me in a way I want to resonate with others. Rereading it felt like coming home. Onto his new book next!
