So close to our goal!


If any of you poetry, literature, and art lovers out there could help out I'd really appreciate. I am the online facilitator of the Tucson Poetry Festival's fundraiser, and we are almost at our goal. We need to raise at least 10 thousand, and we are just a few hundred short with about a week left in our campaign.

We have some awesome poets coming in, including National Book Award finalist, Harryette Mullen, and American Book Award winner, Natalie Diaz. The Tucson Poetry Festival is one of the oldest, most prestigious festivals of its kind in the world, and has a great progressive tradition, having people like Senator Eugene McCarthy attend as a featured poet. This year we'll have Tucson's Democratic mayor, Jonathan Rothschild, who has a book of poetry out, in to read as well. We just need to get it funded, so any help would be much appreciated, $1, $5, or whatever, we'd just be glad to have your support.
