Oh my goodness, that mist: WOW.

I'm reading All the Names Given right now because of you: also WOW.

Yeah, I read The Perseverance a few years ago and adored it. I think he just has the two collections at the moment. But both so so good!

Am also very curious about Portrait of an Alcoholic. If Matyr is any indication, Akbar definitely has enormous talent.

All of his poetry collections are amazing. (I read his two full length ones before reading Martyr!) I think Pilgrim Bell is my favorite but really it is impossible to pick.
