Here from Martyr! because Kaveh Akbar reached into my soul and turns out that’s his job i guess
Cried reading the first poem ever because holy shit it’s the first poem ever
Poetry as prayer as meditation as in thinning the partition between a person and a divine
This collection “exists in opposition to the colonial impulse.” :)

this is an extraordinary, luminous, wide-reaching and wide-embracing collection, and I’m grateful every day for Kaveh Akbar, and also that I have this to hold onto after We Do Not Part
