Alex Dimitrov’s third book, Love and Other Poems, is full of praise for the world we live in. Taking time as an overarching structure—specifically, the twelve months of the year—Dimitrov elevates the everyday, 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, the speaker is convinced that love is “our best invention.” Dimitrov doesn’t resist joy, even in despair. These poems are curious about who we are as people and shamelessly interested in hope.

This book is about the love partners have with each other. Forty- one years of creating a relationship and the tools they used to keep life going. It is the psychology of repair. Accepting of loss and moving on. Sometimes it is confessional,but mostly a tour of remembrance. A reason for life and the pursuit of happiness. It is a collection of emotions and reminder of how great life is. How life should be an ongoing adventure. How death is the beginning of a new life. My partner wanted me to move on and not die of loneliness. Hence the examination of life through poetry.

Whether considering a bird’s nest, the seeming patience of oak trees, or the artworks of Franz Marc, Oliver reminds us of the transformative power of attention and how much can be contained within the smallest moments. At its heart, Blue Horses asks what it means to truly belong to this world, to live in it attuned to all its changes. Humorous, gentle, and always honest, Oliver is a visionary of the natural world.
