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\/body\u003e","brand":"Graywolf Press","offers":[{"title":"Pilgrim Bell | Kaveh Akbar | Paperback | 9781644450598 | New | Poetry 1736198","offer_id":50881124237570,"sku":"1736198","price":41.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/71tV-XiYpyL.jpg?v=1793059730","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/pilgrim-bell","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
