IT’S FINALLY HERE: THE 2022 BOOK CONTEST!
We’re pleased to announce the opening of our Dynamo Verlag Book Contest for 2022, which will be accepting submissions from August 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022.
We held our first contest in 2020, and from a competitive field of manuscripts we selected Jess Parker’s STAR THINGS, a book of exquisitely scientifictional and cosmically discrete poetry which has garnered rave reviews, lots of press, and excellent sales since publication last October, 2021.
Please go HERE to see the full details and rules.

JESS L. PARKER’S POETRY COLLECTION “STAR THINGS” HAS WON THE DYNAMO VERLAG BOOK PRIZE!
In consultation with two of Dynamo Verlag's previous authors, Josh Norman and Lucian Mattison, we have selected, from among our nine finalists, Jess L. Parker's Star Things. About this wonderful collection of poetry, Josh said: "With the varying intensity of a telescope or a microscope, Jess L. Parker zooms in and out on the negative spaces that exist between the esoteric, the mundane, and the emotional life that binds them. Each poem is "a new datum, to be loved/as intricately as Saturn’s rings are particular/up close, and held as tightly as they are." In the dusty moonscapes of "Star Things," every love, every scraped knee, every abandonment, every moon is at once familiar yet alien. Through Parker's lyrical transmutation of the ordinary into the sublime, we find ourselves at home among the stars."
Once again, we must extend our thanks for entrusting us with your work, and helping to make this competition a real pageant of exceptional writing. Many manuscripts reflected our quest for genius, eclecticism, and originality. Selecting finalists from among the contest submissions was quite difficult, and selecting a winner from among those finalists was even harder. We are looking forward to holding another book contest early next year. Until then, of course, and as always, we have open submissions. We will have further updates about our winner's book as we move closer to a date of publication.
