This is ONE ART’s 3rd official fundraiser.

The first two fundraisers were held via GoFundMe. The first was successful, the second not so much. Much gratitude, of course, to all who donated for their support, and for those who regularly support ONE ART over the course of the year.

This time around, I’m not going to use GoFundMe. Instead, ONE ART’s standard donation methods.

Similar to the previous fundraisers, the primary goal will be $3,000 in donations.

Different from the previous fundraisers— if we reach $4,000 in donations, then ONE ART will be able to publish a print version of IN A NUTSHELL: an anthology of micropoems.

Other reasons to donate?

ONE ART does not have any organizational, state, or federal funding.

All of ONE ART’s support comes from generous donations by individuals like you.

In general, my aim is to continue to find new ways to best serve the poetry community.

I remain committed to keeping submissions to ONE ART free.

I want to continue ONE ART’s programming which includes the ONE ART Reading Series and hosting low-cost workshops.

I hope you will consider a small donation to ONE ART to help support my ability to focus my attention on ONE ART’s daily operations and contributions to the poetry community.

With Gratitude,

ONE ART’s Winter Fundraiser

~ ONE ART’s Winter Fundraiser ~

This is ONE ART’s 2nd Fundraiser. During our 1st Fundraiser, we were very close to receiving enough donations to reach our goal of $3,000.

We received donations from about 50 individuals, overall. Many were extra generous and gave significant donations. A little back-of-napkin math reminds that we would reach $3,000 in donations if 300 individuals donated $10.

I remain committed to keeping submissions to ONE ART free and ONE ART’s website ad-free. I’m committed to continuing the monthly ONE ART Reading Series and regularly hosting low-cost workshops. I aim to continue to find new opportunities to better serve the literary community.

ONE ART does not have any organizational, state, or federal grant funding.

All of ONE ART’s support comes from donations by generous individuals like you.

Please consider a donation to help support my ability to focus my efforts on ONE ART’s daily operations and contributions to the poetry community.

If you believe that ONE ART contributes to your life and the vitality of the poetry community, I hope you will consider a small donation.

ONE ART’s Fall Fundraiser

~ ONE ART’s Fall Fundraiser ~

I’m hoping to raise $3,000 for ONE ART. This would be immensely helpful for me, personally. That being said, I don’t want anyone to feel obliged to donate. My intention is to have quarterly fundraisers with the aim of raising at least $12,000/year.

Here’s a link to the GoFundMe:

For those who generously donate $100 or more, I will be happy to mail you a ONE ART sticker as a token of gratitude. (You’ll have to email me your physical address.) 

For those who donate $250 or more, you have the option to have a 30-minute phone call or Zoom with me.

For those who donate $500 or more, you have the option to have a 1-hour phone call or Zoom with me.

Overview

“Stealth Formalism”: Formal Verse for Free Verse Poets

How do the most skilled formalists of today craft poems that sound fresh and contemporary, poems that read as naturally as free verse? Some poets are such ninjas of sound and sense that readers might reach the end of a sonnet before even realizing it is a sonnet. On the other hand, formal poems can be proficient and technically correct, yet still sound forced, archaic, stilted, or unintentionally humorous. Bad poetry, oh noetry! In this workshop, we will explore examples to demystify the common pitfalls of formal verse, learning techniques for leaping over them and onto the solid footing of effective poems. (Participants may wish to bring a poem draft “just in case” there’s time to review a few as samples for future revision.)
