signal boost!

I know I've linked to ysabetwordsmith before, and I really do think her work is worth supporting, even if I don't have the funds to do it myself.

OK guys, I am trying something new. During the monthly Poetry Fishbowl, Elizabeth Barrette  ysabetwordsmith  takes prompts for poetry based on a theme. This month's theme was "mad science." My prompt was "Igor." From it she got the following...

"Igor's Creature" -- 110 lines, $55
From the prompts about Igor, Igor's view, Frankenstein, and playing God ... I got "Igor's Creature." (Okay, I also threw in some ulterior knowledge from studying the original novel with an eye toward feminist deconstruction of male privilege and class warfare.) This free-verse poem is all about the guy who does the real work while his boss goofs off, hogs the credit, and generally wreaks havoc. Of course Igor winds up cleaning up the mess, but he's also the one who realizes that the monster isn't actually a monster ...

Now as the person that supplied the prompt, I've seen the entire poem. I think other people will enjoy it as well.  Finances are a bit tight for me at the moment which brings me to the trying something new part: I am hoping to get it sponsored. I was thinking that this poem might interest some of you, and if you are able to toss in a little funding, the poem will be posted in increments as sponsored. I love watching that happen. The poem I posted about yesterday, "Rabbit Season," has reached its half-funded mark. 

Wondering if you would enjoy her work? You can read quite a bit of her poetry thanks to her poetry tag. You can also check out a List of Unsold Poems from the April 5, 2011 Poetry Fishbowl if you want to explore what else has not been sponsored from that theme. They may be sponsored via PayPal, or you can write her to discuss other methods.
