-Maxima Kahn, author of Fierce Aria, teacher, and firekeeper
Here we are asked to "enter the entanglement" as Aakaash lays bare a poet's motivating purpose through a series of 'How To' poems that process and warn, as well as celebrate and rejoice, sometimes with a cat to pet, or a puppy to walk, or a goat to milk. These poems live life to the fullest; they "behold beauty / and follow the call..." With lyrical language and juxtapositions dripping with alliteration and rhythm, Untangling the Knots is a winning achievement in chapbook form. To read it is to enter a sacredness-an entanglement of love and grief, life and wonder, regrets and hope-where you will "make your own retreat / through quick forays into / forbidden places."
-Samantha Kolber, author of Birth of a Daughter
Untangling the Knots is a uniquely potent collection of sagacity that weaves ostensibly mundane pursuits into elegant tapestries of instruction that congeal and calm the complexities of being human in our natural world. With silky precision, the poems reach softly into our hearts and ask us to look deeply and with sanctified intention into the raw ingredients of our losses. Then, like the evening sun descending across a southwest mesa, the slipknot is gently pulled, and the golden moment is upon us. The finished product leaves a tantalizing taste in our mouths and a satiated feeling in our spirit.
-Standing Feather, author of A Glowing Pink
