Early life

He attended the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, where he studied with the poet Anne Carson, and received a BA in English and Film in 2007. In 2009 he received an MFA in poetry from Sarah Lawrence College, where he studied with the poet Marie Howe.[2]
Career
Dimitrov is the recipient of the Stanley Kunitz Prize from the American Poetry Review and a Pushcart Prize.[3][4] He worked at the Academy of American Poets[5] for eight years, where he was the Senior Content Editor and edited the popular online series Poem-a-Day and American Poets magazine.
He has taught writing at Princeton University,[6] Columbia University,[7] New York University, Barnard College, Sarah Lawrence College, Rutgers University in New Brunswick, Marymount Manhattan College, and Bennington College.
In June 2012 he published American Boys,[8] an online chapbook from Floating Wolf Quarterly. His first book of poems, Begging for It, was published by Four Way Books in March 2013.[9] His second book of poems, Together and by Ourselves,[10] was published by Copper Canyon Press in April 2017.
Dimitrov published his third book, Love and Other Poems, in February 2021. The title poem, "Love,"[11] was published in the American Poetry Review in their January/February 2020 issue, which featured Dimitrov on the cover.[12]

On November 26, 2016, with the poet Dorothea Lasky, Dimitrov founded Astro Poets.[23] Flatiron Books published their book, Astro Poets: Your Guides to the Zodiac in October 2019.
Dimitrov published his fifth book, Love and Other Poems, in 2021 which the New York Times book review talked of a source of "impromptu shot(s) of delight".[24]
