Update #14: App in Progress, Chapbook about Done
Just a quick public update up here on Kickstarter...the iheart poetics is underway, so exciting to see it starting to hum and work. I'm looking forward it to share it with you soon!
Meanwhile, I've just received the first demo print of chapbook 001; it looks great and will soon be finished. My apologies for some delay there, the time allowed for the making of a tighter, quality collection of work so far on the project.
Stay tuned, more soon...
All best,
Seth

Update #10: 21 Hours Left, 68% FUNDED!!
Thanks so much to iheart poetics' latest backer who pledged $5000, bringing the campaign to 69% funded with 21 hours to go!!!
To all backers, thank you so much for your support. The campaign is now $6000 short of the goal!
If you have the ability, please consider increasing your pledge amount to the project. Every increase big or small counts!
I know times are hard these days. If a pledge increase is difficult, sending the project to friends who might help us reach the goal is a major help.
I will meanwhile do all I can! Thanks again, big, big heart to you all!!
