DSM Poetry Contest Update

DSM Poetry Contest

To all those who have submitted poems to our first annual poetry contest, Thank You. We are encouraged by your enthusiasm and talent. Seriously, the work thus far has been great reading. For those who have not yet submitted, please do so soon. We are only accepting 300 applications. Doing so gives us plenty of time to sort, select and determine our winner. Spots are going fast. So again, if you want to participate in our contest, in which the grand prize winner will see a book of his or her poems published, send your submissions today.

Currently we are reading the submissions that have come our way since opening the contest. This means that anyone who submitted between October 22nd and October 30th (tomorrow is the last day for submissions!), we are reading your work. You know who you are.

We provide contest updates each Friday.

Here’s some inspiration. It’s a video of Robert Lowell reading Old Flame. Thanks again, everyone. And have a great weekend.
