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.

Kris Gillis | LexPoMo 2023

Bio for 2023

Kris teaches high school English and writes. He really needs to get on the ball with submitting poems to journals, but he's often distracted by other things.

Reason for signing up:

I love LexPoMo and the writers who publish works here.
