I have a confession to make; I read "Forfeiting My Mystique" and maybe one or two other poems by Kaveh Akbar, and then immediately started naming him as one of my favorite poets. "Forfeiting My Mystique" is very good, and years later it is still one of my all-time favorite poems, but still, I feel like I probably should have read more of his work before now. However, having now read this whole collection, I am happy to say that it's only confirmed that he's one of my favorite poets. I genuinely loved every single poem in here. So many of them blew me away. I know I'll come back to read them again and again. I could not recommend this book enough.
