Seeking Cosponsors for "Where Have All the Heroes Gone?-Different Gifts"

haikujaguar has posted that "Where Have All the Heroes Gone?/Different Gifts" from the April 7, 2009 Poetry Fishbowl was her favorite piece but out of price range, and wants to know if anyone would be interested in pooling resources to sponsor it.

EDIT 4-16-09: This poem is fully funded! Thank you all so much. You may read it at:

I'll kick in $10 toward co-sponsorship.
Hmm. We are still significantly away from the total! :P
Well, I could just hold onto that poem and leave it open for donations, including overflow from general fund. (It's not unusual to have a dollar or few left over, because some people give $2-3 donations and the main prices are in $5 increments.) Might take a while, but it would add up.
Is there anything left in that kitty right now?
There was $1 left over from the April general fund, which I put towards the poem.
*wanders off* *comes back*

Okay, let's see what happens now.
The poem is now posted.
There is $1 left in the general fund after posting "A Doe in Velvet" and "Whistling Girls and Crowing Hens." So that would be $11 out of $64.
I will kick in $10 as well; the poem sounds interesting :-)
Thank you!

This poem is now posted, so you can see it.
haikujaguar has posted a call for cosponsors on her blog, leading an explosion of donations:
http://haikujaguar.livejournal.com/633856.html
This includes a pen sketch of the poem from her. I'm going to tally up the donations as best I can...

$5 from oldewolfe
$5 from haikujaguar
$5 from elusivetiger
$5 from dulcinbradbury

$1 from Donor A (not yet matched to LJ name)
$2 from Donor B (not yet matched to LJ name)
$1.77 from Donor C (not yet matched to LJ name)
$5 from Donor D (not yet matched to LJ name)

If I've done the math right, the current donation tally (counting the two $10 pledges) is $50.77 and I'm just going to round that up to $51. So $64 - $51 = $13 remaining until this poem is fully sponsored.

Wow.
