Half-Price Sale: Polychrome Heroics

This week the unsold contents of Polychrome Heroics are on sale for half price, running July 15-21. If you can't afford to sponsor a whole poem, remember that epic poems (anything over 60 lines) can be funded at $.25/line.

On the one hand, I'm tempted to sponsor "Dr. Doohickey and the Mad Science Scrambler" as a gift to Barnstead, the late and much-lamented Pernicious the Musquodoboit Harbour Farm Cat's faithful amanuensis and general factotum. (Just for clarity, Pernicious is late and much-lamented; Barnstead is alive and much-beloved.)

On the other hand, I really want to read "Throwing Souls Like So Much Clay".

I shall ponder.

I think I'll go with Dr. Doohickey (I'll send the Paypal this evening when I get home from work), and signal boost this post in hopes that someone else will sponsor Souls like Clay.
