Love and Other Poems
by Alex Dimitrov
The latest and third poetry collection by queer pop star poet Alex Dimitrov. A long love poem to New York City. I loved seeing references to gay bars I frequented when living there! A welcome engagement with the kind of bustling life we are longing for after a year in isolation. It’s the kind of poetry in which we can feel lost together, yet it’s unabashedly hopeful.
