Each word in this little book might rise up from somewhere deep in the earth, but they turn into stars." - Nick Flynn "In Islam prayer is not transactional, poetry is not divorced from the quotidian and portraiture is embraced only in the abstract. And yet here in Kaveh Akbar's book, entreaty is earnest, aimed at the human and particular more often than...
