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.
“Your youth drips from your fingers” is a marvelously vague and sumptuous line; it calls forth a gross of images, from messy watermelon to things I don’t care to mention here. It reminds me of a haunting Baudelaire line, translated of course, “There are perfumes fresh as children’s flesh.” The fact that it conjures that, which, to me is an exemplary sensual line of masterful poetry , is incredible. Thank you.
