The Dynamo Verlag Podcast Dynamo Verlag

On this episode we talk to Andrew Squitiro, poet and essayist whose collection LOCAL WEATHER will be released at AWP Kansas City in just a couple weeks' time.

On this episode I chatted with Alleliah Nuguid, whose awesome poetry collection A HUMAN MOON (Dynamo Verlag 2024, forthcoming) won our Book Prize for 2022.



We talk about her education, inspirations, background, and the genesis of her award-winning debut collection, A HUMAN MOON!

On this episode I got to chat with poet Maud Kelly and artist Megan McGinley, whose collaborative book, Descent: Your Guide to the Underworld is available from Three Planes Publishing. Maud Kelly is a poet, essayist, and stage-4 cancer survivor. Megan McGinley, co-owner of the PDX design and creative studio Central Office,  is an artist and designer with extensive experience in printmaking. 

Maud happens to have been my first creative writing teacher, so it was fun to catch up after more than a decade. 

Enjoy!

Jess L Parker's debut poetry collection STAR THINGS won the Dynamo Verlag Book Prize 2020 and is forthcoming this autumn. 

I got a chance to talk to Jess about her poetry, her influences and education, how she put together her prize-winning collection of poetry, STAR THINGS, and at the end of the episode she reads some of the excellent poems from the book. 

Logan Garrity is the cowriter and director of Pool Party '15, which was released early last year. 

Making a movie is no small feat; I would imagine all of us have, at some point, imagined writing/directing/shooting/producing/releasing a movie. Logan and I talk about what it takes to actually bring a film to life, and what it can cost. In the end, we are all of us creators, big and small, and every great project begins with little more than an idea, a dream. Enjoy! 

Dennis Hinrichsen's recent book, THIS IS WHERE I LIVE I HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO GO, which won the 2020 Off the Grid prize, came out last Autumn on Grid Books. The author of many collections of poetry, Dennis has taught literature for many years and was, from 2017-2019, Lansing, Michigan's poet laureate. Full disclosure: he's also my uncle.
