Thanks for the ten spot! I'm going to send you a limited edition, hand-made, type-writer typed, original poem-post-card in gratitude for your donation. We don't do that enough for each other.

For $20, you'll receive a signed, hand-made, limited edition copy of my previous collection of poems, stories, and essays entitled "Scree." Covering many of the travels and experiences that will be featured in the prose novel you're helping to fund, "Scree" is a creation of mine that I'll be honored to share with you in deep thankfulness for your support. In addition, I will also send you the first chapter of "2:20's."

For 2 of your hard-earned 20's, I'll send you a copy of the aforementioned book "Scree," as well as an advanced, hand-made draft of the book you're helping fund, "2:20."

$80 has "Scree" and "2:20" coming your way, and will also score you a copy of audio tracks from my years of reading and performing poems in Vermont and around the country, as well as a book-on-tape excerpts from the new work you've helped to fund.

Wow, you're generous! And I'm thankful! $100 gets you the books, a cd, and, upon the books completion, a second disc of the entire "2:20" book-on-tape, read by yours truly. For those of you familiar with my performance work, you'll know that I value the acoustics, the emphasis, the real-time thusness, of reading my work aloud. "2:20" will be, I can promise, a joy to listen to, either on the road or on the summer porch.

Holy Smokes! For your marvelous gift, you'll receive everything already described, plus your choice of the following: #1 I'm very interested in ancestry, in heritage, in tradition, in family stories, and the act of weaving them together. If you are so inclined, you can provide me with a family tree and some sketched information about the places and characters you hold dear, and I will craft you a narrative poem that will seek to do justice to your story. I will then produce the poem into a studio quality "broadside" that can be artfully hung in your home or office. -or- #2: If geographically possible, I will come to your home and create a Permaculture Design for you, with emphasis on mapping your place according to the "scale of permanence." Additionally, I will work with you to create a plan for your land that can maximize food production and wildlife habitat, minimize fossil fuel energy usage, and create a planting/design plan for you to pursue at your own pace and in your own style. I hold an internationally recognized Permaculture Design Certification, and I would be honored to share what I've learned with with you in exchange for you gift. Thank you!
