So y'all know that I've been interning at a publishing company in my spare time (HAH) this semester. Well, we've established a Kickstarter project to try and acquire funding to publish a book of Iraqi poetry by Soheil Najm, Ishtar's Songs: Iraqi Poetry Since the 1970s.
If you are unfamiliar with Kickstarter.com, it is a website that allows the consumer to choose what projects are funded. They focus on creative projects, and if the project isn't fully funded in the allotted time, no money exchanges hands. It's kind of a win-win situation.
If you are interested in backing the project or learning more, please go here: http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1915595067/iraqi-poetry-translated-art
If you back $50, you'll get a wildly enthusiastic email sent from me, the student intern, so says the rewards!
...If you back $2500, we'll publish your book. Not that I'm telling you to do so, of course, because to my knowledge none of you really have books you'd like to publish... but it's there. Waiting. Just for you.
