Help us keep on giving.

Sponsored by Workhorse, Lexington Poetry Month is an easy to use platform for poets to publish and share their work in an attractive way. The community is supportive and diverse, commenting and encouraging one another throughout June. Money we raise goes to maintaining the cost of the website and publishing the yearly anthology. Our goals are to provide every poet (~150) a copy of the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings and poetry workshops.

Bio for 2020

John is a painter, printmaker, and writer of poems, songs and fiction.

Reason for signing up:

I lost my public studio and gallery due to the pandemic, which is fine, I can work at home, but the transition was very hard work and left me without a place to paint for a while. That, plus the fact that the novel I have been working on for ten years has become a little cumbersome to keep up with (not to mention everything being on fire), has forced my flow into unexpected bursts of poetry, mostly during tri-weekly bouts of insomnia. I’m ready.
