Friday the 13th Announcement
Greetings everybody. I hope you are all well. Alive and well. :). These days you just never know when you will breathe your last breath.
As you are aware, we are approaching the one year anniversary of the closing of DUP.
[I remember shooting my guns into an abyss of infinite darkness.]
Twas such a complex, existential, visceral intensity, which permeated throughout.
[To me, DeepUndergroundPoetry was a monolith of the poetic dreams of the poets.]
I had the idea to do a Poetry Book Contest.
I then had the idea to have the contest be open only to former DUP members.
I think it’s dope that one of us will win.
I was thinking what the prize should be…
I decided that 1000$ is a decent amount.
So there it is…
Should you accept this Poetic Mission Impossible, your poetry book manuscript could make you a thousand aire… :ppp
The submission deadline will be 4/20/2027.
Winner will be selected on 5/15/2027.
I will send out invitations.
I am also pondering a spoken word contest and novel contest.
To me, you are all the best writers in the world.
And I wanna see you win.
I hope you will all participate in this contest.
It is free to enter.
Also, I am going to hold a NaPo, at my poetry site, this year…
I will send out invitations.
Participants will get a free custom NaPo t shirt.









Interesting….hey, a thousand bucks is a thousand bucks. I’ve never been one for contests but you never know…..thank you!!
Hope you are doing well and thriving this Friday 13th!!!
I’m interested dearest Cipher it’s pretty cool you’re doing this I miss DU a lot I’m happy you are here ❤️
Hey both of you…
I was thinking of the logistics of such a contest…
I don’t even know how many former DUP members would be interested…
So I am thinking of doing maybe just an open book contest, not necessarily former DU members…
Will keep you posted…
