The title of my earliest compilation is taken from two poems: "The Moss" and "Wild Strawberries." These poems are ecologically based and symbolically linked, containing warnings about GMOs and endangered...

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...
