You can see the other poems available for sponsorship on the Serial Poetry page* This year's donor-perk at the $100 level is a series collection, with all the poems printed and bound in series-chronological order. Fiorenza the Wisewoman is an option for that. $10 a month would do it, if that appeals. Doesn't matter where you direct the donations for that; it all adds up ( ... )
