"With formal virtuosity and ruthless precision, Kaveh Akbar’s second collection takes it readers on a spiritual journey of disavowal, fiercely attendant to the presence of divinity where artifacts of self and belonging have been shed. How does one recover from addiction without destroying the self-as-addict? And if living justly in a nation that would see them erased is, too, a kind of self-destruction, what does one do with the body’s question, "What now shall I repair?" Here, Akbar responds with prayer as an act of devotion or dissonance–the infinite void of a loved one’s absence, the indulgence of austerity, making a life as a Muslim in an Islamophobic nation–teasing the sacred out of silence and stillness."–Provided by publisher. <\/p>\n

Richly crafted and generous, Pilgrim Bell<\/i>‘s linguistic rigor is tuned to the register of this moment and any moment. As the swinging soul crashes into its limits, against the atrocities of the American empire, and through a profoundly human capacity for cruelty and grace, these brilliant poems dare to exist in the empty space where song lives–resonant, revelatory, and holy. <\/p>\n
