description: Alex Dimitrovs third book Love and Other Poems is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time and specifically the months of the year as an overarching structure Dimitrov elevates the every day 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 NASAs golden record to the Ouija board the speaker is convinced that love is our best invention. While he navigates darkness and fear loneliness and guilt Dimitrov doesnt resist joy even in despair. There is a determined curiosity about who we are as people and a shameless interest in the idea of hope. These poems are obsessed with everything around us even the terrible and fraught.
