If you plan to sponsor some poetry but haven't made up your mind yet, read the list of unsold poems from March. That includes the title, length, price, and the original thumbnail description for the poems still available. Also, "Paper, Scissors, Stone" and "The Truth in the Tower" are currently being microfunded at $.50/line. Fans on a budget should watch these -- often, a dollar or few is enough to reveal a new verse.
All of the fully sponsored poems have been posted, along with the funded verses of the two new epics. Prompters have their backchannel copies of the other poems. March's donor perk-post discusses the sonnet form.
