Spring Fundraiser: Results, Thanks, Next Steps

First, so much gratitude to everyone who donated to support ONE ART during the Spring 2026 fundraiser!!

We reached 2/3 of our primary goal and 58% of our overall goal. And that’s great!

Sadly, we did not reach the higher tier goal ($4,000) designed to provide funds that would allow for print publication of IN A NUTSHELL: An Anthology of Micropoems. That being said, I’m leaving the door open to possibilities for publishing a print version.

Previously, I was planning on seasonal fundraisers with a goal of raising $3,000 each quarter. Moving forward, I think the strategy will be biannual fundraisers in Spring and Fall; plus, as previously mentioned, targeted fundraisers for specific projects.

In future, ONE ART will likely have targeted fundraisers that are exclusively for something like a print anthology.

Thank you again to all who have donated— either during or outside the fundraising windows— I am immensely grateful for your support!

I’m always seeking ways to grow ONE ART and enhance our community. Please feel free to share suggestions for future ONE ART endeavors.

With Gratitude,

Gratitude on Thanksgiving

Thank you to the ONE ART community for being lovely people and for your unwavering support of the journal and each other. A wonderful space has been cultivated together.

Special thanks to those who have donated to support ONE ART.

We look forward to curating exceptional work in 2024.

There is always room for improvement. Let us know what we can do better this coming year.

You can find regular updates from ONE ART on Facebook & Twitter (X).

What can yield more reasons for gratitude in the rearview in 2025?

Don’t be afraid to ask hard questions or suggest ideas that may not end up being feasible. Happy to have the conversation.

Sending good wishes,

BUDDHIST FIRE-EATER by Susan Michele Coronel

BUDDHIST FIRE-EATER

Each time she strikes a match, she tilts her head
back, imagines she is entering a Coke bottle’s

glass neck, swallowing the last threads of sulfur
before its saw-toothed cap snaps on.

After she seals her lips around the head
of torch, she exhales with ease

to release the flames of attachment
she has been holding her entire life.

A siren of gratitude widens its range.
What is empty cannot be destroyed.
