Produktbeschreibung
Ecstasy is the major new collection from Alex Dimitrov whose poems such as 'The Years' and 'Someone in Paris, France is Thinking of You' in the New Yorker have gone viral. In Ecstasy, Dimitrov explores the sensation of ecstasy in all its forms: romantic, sexual, drug-induced and spiritual. Beginning in Manhattan and finally taking us across America, London and Paris, Ecstasy is a revelatory exploration of sex, God, parties, New York, drug culture, and old school Americana. Dimitrov is an iconographer of contemporary life, able to pin profound and timeless meaning to exact time and place, much in the way that religious imagery in churches tell of universal and placeless experience. These are poems that steal attention from their reader and hold it, with fierce and hypnotic possession.
