Kaveh Akbar and John Murillo

Apr 11, 2022


Kaveh Akbar’s latest collection of poems is Pilgrim Bell. “This collection is a marvel,” wrote Mary Karr. “Like his previous work, it dazzles us. Akbar is incapable of setting down a line that’s less than luminous. Pilgrim Bell is destined to become a classic, another blazing torch added to the eternal flames.”

John Murillo’s latest book is Kontemporary Amerikan Poetry. “This stunning new collection speaks hard truths about the violence that afflicts our communities, our bodies, and our stories,” wrote Rigoberto González. “Yet over this troubling arena, shaped by hostile social and political climates, a saving grace arises: Murillo’s unfettered ability to get at the heart of the wound, giving us words that empower us to transcend the pain.”
