SC25 - Day Twenty-Nine (Graywolf Press)
One who journeys in foreign lands: WAYFARER; plus, a hollow metallic device.
Finished the book last night, but opted for sleep over immediate post. Sleep: I recommend it! ♻️
I enjoyed seeing this author read from and talk about his latest book (a novel, not the poetry collection here) at Moon Palace Books, my favorite bookstore 😄.
August 29th - Book Twenty-Nine (Graywolf Press)
Number of Pages: 70
Start Page: 1
Number of Poems: 35
Time Reading: 42 minutes
The book is Pilgrim Bell, by Kaveh Akbar. His latest book is the novel Martyr! — you can read an excerpt from it at Electric Lit (which, if you say it fast, sounds way more fun than it actually is…depending on your enthusiasm & proclivities 🤭).
Two more books! One is big in one way, the other is big in a different way, and both are rather different from the poetry collections so far this month. Intrigued? Stay tuned….
