Despite reading this collection over a dozen times over, it is still what I reach for when I am in need. In need of tenderness, of haunting vulnerability, of being seen. Kaveh's poetry sits so well with me, I can't even really call this a review more than a raving. Over all this time, I'm still not quite sure what to say except that every time I pick up this collection, I am grateful I did. Kaveh transforms even the most mundane into meaningful fascination through vivid imagery as he navigates addiction, craving, God, and culture. Paired with his spiraling writing style, these poems read like evocation magic to me, stirring the most gentle feelings of yearning and sorrow. I am humbled and forever in awe by Kaveh's words.
