The first Wilde Boys poetry salon in over a decade

This past Wednesday, I held the first Wilde Boys poetry salon in 11 years. The last one took place in 2013. And the first took place in 2009.

We had an amazing time at Kapp Kapp gallery (86 Walker) and the next salon will be on November 30 (also my 40th birthday!) and feature Dorothea Lasky, Matt Starr, Will Chancellor, and me (duh!).

Here are some photos, videos, and moments from the night.

Me with my lamb, Andy Warhol

Rex rehearsing before everyone came

Reading “For the Critics,” from Love and Other Poems

Paul Legault reading a poem I’m in, not sure what it’s called lol

The vibe

Rex Detiger such a Leo vibration; incredible

Morgan Parker bringing a Sagittarius energy as always

I signed tennis balls & put out galleys of my new book Ecstasy, out April 1. BIG PUBLIC READING at the Strand on April 1. Everyone is invited. COME!

Sammy, co-owner of Kapp Kapp, with his Leo brother Daniel. Sammy is also a Leo & a STAR.

You’ve never had more fun with anyone else; anyone but Alex Dimitrov that is

The boys were dressed right; QUEEN MOTHER MADONNA

A word on our QUEEN MOTHER MADONNA who inspired my lamb, look, & saved all of us faggots from AIDS & that’s history baby - we love you Madonna. Come to the next Wilde Boys!

Madonna arrives at her SEX book release party in October of 1992 with her stuffed lamb to demonstrate her innocence

You just had to be there - Rex Detiger was - & so was all of New York

Still vibrating high at all the afters (and there were many)

My students from Bennington College when I taught there in 2014! All grown up & wonderful writers.

I wanted to be a tennis player growing up. Guess I did something even better! But I still get to sign tennis balls and hand them out. Yes, baby!

The boys were gorgeous. Duh!

The boys were charming. Hello! (JFK was in the background.)

Over a decade of friendship! Friendship is everything. Friendship is the greatest romance. Morgan Parker & Alex Dimitrov forever.

Andy was loved so much…

…he killed himself on the cab ride home…too much love!…

…or because he thought there was no more champagne.

There will always be more champagne when you’re with me!

See you on November 30th. 7pm. 86 Walker. Kapp Kapp gallery. 4th floor.

I love you!
xx Alex
