$238 towards $600

Hey! This is my 4th at-bat with this project. The writing of poems, and the raising of funds -- neither gets easier, but I fully support this project. I'm well aware of other pressing issues in the U.S. and abroad--hurricane relief, animal safety, poverty, victims of unspeakable tragedies. Nevertheless, here I am. I am aiming to raise $20 a day, retroactively to 10/1. If two people throw in $10 every day, I can make my goal. All that said, I adore words, & I adore being a poet -- especially that feeling that evolves between the blank page and the "finished" artifact -- that almost Kafkaesque dis-ease of "What the hell next?" I hope you'll share that evolution with me, and that you will (please) help to spread the word by sharing on Facebook and such. Thanks so much! -- Mike Dockins, 10/4/17
