I am Nancy Murray (Nancymurray.net) I host a group of more than 25 Maryland poets. Last year I received a Maryland State Art's Council grant for $4,000 to publish a book by artists and poets who collaborated to create terrific poetry infused art. The work and the book (Liminal Spaces) were both fantastic.

The community came together to celebrate literature and the visual arts (2D and 3D) for months. I want to do it again, but I can't get the grant two years in a row.

I am crowdsourcing the funds so that the next round of creative work can also be captured and shared for years to come. We have 30 artists and poets committed to do the work. We just need your pre-orders and or donations to help capture it in a beautifully bound book.

Any purchase or donation will be greatly appreciated.

Your donation of $25 or more will pre order a copy of the book for you.

Your donation of $50 or more will pre order a copy of the book PLUS an additional work of art from one of the artists involved.

The books will be delivered in June, 2025.

Proceeds from the sale of the book or related artwork will be donated in parts to The Arts Lab of South County and the PoetryXHunger project.

This means that your purchase and/or donation will serve the artist community, the writing community, and the hungry. In addition to that, you will have a beautifully bound collection of art and poetry to keep or gift to someone you love. Everyone wins.

Thanks in advance! Your patronage and generosity help to keep the arts alive and well!
