Poet Jacqueline Suskin hopes to raise $5,000 for a book tour on Kickstarter. She will reward her most generous backers with poems, collages, or original drawings.
Here’s more about the project: “I will travel across the country doing different events, reading my work, collaborating with local artists and musicians, and creating celebrations based around poetry. My hope is to earn enough funds in order to support each event (food, entertainment, venue fees, etc..), printing costs, and travel expenses. I will also be doing Poem Store whenever I can. This will be an added way to bring poetry into as many lives as possible. I am excited to interact with anyone who is still engaged in the importance of poetry as a driving part of American culture.
