nathansnook 's review for:
Ecstasy: Poems
by Alex Dimitrov
funny
hopeful
inspiring
lighthearted
reflective
fast-paced
Major thanks to Knopf for sending me an ARC of this in exchange for my honest thoughts:

To be gay and bored and unsure of the world. What should life provide? What do I provide to life? Is God real through any of this? My Catholic upbringing says otherwise, but Dimitrovβs trust in the divine in that Lana Del Rey cool brings him to Frank OβHara cool, a beatnik chic that once was, revived. Corvettes, Coca Colas, having a coke with you, can it be done?
The book is filled with boys and kisses and booze and charm. Dimitrov writes of a world where bumming off a cigarette from a cute face is lifeβs greatest pleasure, and pure ecstasy when you go home with them.
