BOMB is honored to announce the winner of our 2022 Poetry Contest: Donte Collins! Guest judge Solmaz Sharif selected this year's winner, who will receive a $1,000 prize and will be published in our Fall 2022 issue.
In her citation for @dontecollinsthepoet , Solmaz Sharif writes, "The poems speak for themselves, and around and aside. Funny, frank, scathing, patient, eddying, they're liquid in their turning of phrases, of repetition.. Reading these poems by Donte Collins readies me."
