Download or read book Pilgrim Bell written by Kaveh Akbar and published by Graywolf Press. This book was released on 2021-08-03 with total page 98 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Kaveh Akbar’s exquisite, highly anticipated follow-up to Calling a Wolf a Wolf With formal virtuosity and ruthless precision, Kaveh Akbar’s second collection takes its readers on a spiritual journey of disavowal, fiercely attendant to the presence of divinity where artifacts of self and belonging have been shed. 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, “what now shall I repair?” 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. Richly crafted and generous, Pilgrim Bell’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.

If you are a friend to someone who has lost a child and you have been searching for something to hand them which will help, even if just a little, this may be the book for you to give. The author found that in the aftermath of his own son's death, it was the more intense literature in the field of death, dying, and grief that carried the most healing. This book makes no attempt to sugar coat this experience, so please ask for wisdom before you give this to a bereaved person. William Gaskill was ordained as a pastor in the Presbyterian Church USA in 1978. He received his Master of Divinity from Princeton Theological Seminary in Princeton, New Jersey. In 1994, he received his Doctor of Ministry from Columbia Theological Seminary in Decatur, Georgia. He continues to serve as pastor at First Presbyterian Church in Merchantville, New Jersey.
