Pay It Forward for Literacy

OpenBook is an open source plugin, free for anyone's use. I have volunteered countless hours to its production and maintenance. I have also benefited in many unexpected ways. If you already use OpenBook to promote literacy, I am amply rewarded. If you would like to share the love, I encourage you to donate to a site that promotes literacy.

Here is one site that I particularly recommend:

Via Negativa

Dave Bonta is a poet and literary magazine editor from Pennsylvania. He maintains four excellent literary sites that I have followed for years:

• Via Negativa, a blog written by Dave and guest writers
• Morning Porch, a literary view from Dave's front porch every morning
• Moving Poems, a collection of the best video poems on the web
• Woodrat Photohaiku, a photoblog

He is also a writer and editor of Qarrtsiluni, a literary magazine.

Countless volunteer hours have generated an enthusiastic following. You can help support hosting and domain registration costs. Visit the site and pick one of the following:

• Purchase "Odes to Tools", Dave's book of poetry
• Purchase "Words on the Street – An Inaction Comic"
• Purchase Via Negativa swag
• Make a PayPal donation

I kindly thank you.
