Leaving town I sat next to a senseless and beautiful boywho asked where I live. His unwashed hair or the way his eyes were just eyes…the soul is a tiring thing. You can have it. I don’t know what you mean’s what I told him. It’s more simple than that. I’m just passing through.Alex Dimitrov

I’m interested in connecting with readers and strangers through poetry. I want to create real intimacy with my poems. Whether I do that through pulling from my personal life or using my fantasy life–or say history, whether that history is personal history or our collective histories–what’s important is that an experience is created. An experience that will hopefully matter to people and feel real. I want my poems to move people and make them want to live their lives, however complicated and impossible those lives may be. I think a poem can speak to the life you currently live but also to the lives you’ve lived before, the ones to come and also those you’ve yet to imagine. What else can do that? Not sex or money or other people. .Alex Dimitrov

I'll never get over the factthat the buildings all light up at night, and the night comes every nightand without regret we let it go. We sleep a little and we live. That's what we do.Alex Dimitrov
