Love and Other Poems by Alex Dimitrov
5.0

I think this is my new favorite poet and collection of poetry. The thing I love most about Dimitrov's poetry is how he captures a kind of wonder and love for the world that is still grounded in the misery of everything happening exactly now. I felt hope well up inside of me as I read—hope that I will continue to live through moments that he describes (a sunset in NYC, a spring day en route to a party) and hope that I can live through my own moments with the same kind of attention and adoration that he does.
