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, \"\u003ci\u003ewhat now shall I repair?\u003c\/i\u003e\" Here, Akbar responds with prayer as an act of devotion to 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eRichly crafted and generous, \u003ci\u003ePilgrim Bell\u003c\/i\u003e'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.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kaveh Akbar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Graywolf Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\/3\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 80\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.3 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9\" H x 6.5\" L x 0.35\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9781644450598\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst LLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49537285194032,"sku":"9781644450598","price":16.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9781644450598.jpg?v=1775122198","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/pilgrim-bell-poems-kaveh-akbar-paperback","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
