DSM Poetry Contest Winner

Earlier this year we decided to have a poetry contest. We read many poems. We enjoyed them all. But we liked one person’s the best. This person is now involved in a very special thing. (S)he will have a collection of poems published in book form in 2010. Dark Sky Books is the publisher. This is exciting. We will all do our best. We felt this person’s poems were snappy, imaginative; they took us to weird places and made us reconsider the meaning of words. Sometimes we overheated while reading them. Other times we shivered with cold. They are grand poems. A handful of them have been published in literary magazines. More of them will be collected here for the first time. It’s still a bit early for Christmas. But we are smitten with good cheer. We wish good cheer to all the fine poets who submitted their work, we wish good cheer to our readers, and we wish good cheer to our winner…
