Love and Other Poems

Alex Dimitrov's third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure-specifically, the twelve months of the year-Dimitrov elevates the everyday, and speaks directly to the reader as if the poem were a phone call or a text message. From the personal to the cosmos, the moon to New York City, the speaker is convinced that love is "e;our best invention."e; Dimitrov doesn't resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.
