Ryler Dustin with David Gilmour Parts One and Two of Three TRAILER PARK PSALMS Winner of the Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize “Ryler Dustin’s poems achieve a clear and accessible quality, not through the simplicity of idea or emotion (for his poems are rich with surprising language and complex sentiment) but through his remarkable facility with syntax. Indeed, his elegant sentences convey feeling with vulnerability and sensitivity, while achieving what can only be called pure music.” — Kwame Dawes, author of UnHistory with John Kinsella Born and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Ryler Dustin has represented Seattle on the final stage of the Individual World Poetry Slam, and his poems appear in places like Verse Daily, Gulf Coast, and The Best of Button Poetry. He’s the author of Heavy Lead Birdsong from Write Bloody Publishing and Trailer Park Psalms, winner of the 2022 Agnes Lynch Starrett Poetry Prize.
