Begging for It by Alex Dimitrov

adventurous emotional reflective sad medium-paced

4.5

Alex Dimitrov's Begging For It is an intimate and sensuous exploration of youth, identity, and sex. He seamlessly weaves three or four central ideas in most poems as exemplified in "To the Thirsty I Will Give Water", "Yesterday morning while I read Montaigne/ a man drove his car into the Gowanus canal.// I have never seen a greater monster or miracle..." His writing style, while simple, allows for depth and resonance. He is truly a master of his craft. My favorite poems were, "To The Thirsty I Will Give Water" and "This is Not a Personal Poem."
