Begging for It (Stahlecker Selections);

In his debut collection of poems, Begging for It, Alex Dimitrov leads us through the streets, bridges, and bedrooms of New York City, sometimes as far away as Buenos Aires and Iceland, and as close as our own darkest corners. Dimitrov writes as both observer of and fervent participant in an "American youth," as his speakers navigate both the physical and emotional landscapes of desire, intimacy, and longing--whether for a friend, a lover, or a self. "Saint or stranger, I still recklessly seek you," he writes.
