Back in April, I posted an item about Kaveh Akbar, a gay Iranian-American writer who is currently poetry critic at The Nation. Washington Post critic Ron Charles devoted part of his most recent "Book Club" weekly newsletter (always entertaining, and worth checking out if you're already a Post subscriber), to Akbar's second collection, Pilgrim Bell, which he calls "a series of revelations." Judging by the poem Charles samples from it, "Despite My Efforts Even My Prayers Have Turned into Threats," he's right about that.
