Kaveh Akbar

“I've read your poems, Cyrus. I get that you're Persian. Born there, raised here. I know that's a part of you. But you've probably spent more time looking at your phone today, just today, than you've spent cutting open pomegranates in your entire life. Cumulatively. Right? But how many fucking pomegranates are in your poems? Versus how many iPhones? Do you see what I mean?" Cyrus wanted to kick him in the face. For being racist. For being a little right.”

Kaveh Akbar, Martyr!
