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.
Faith, a wanderer, a beacon of light. A rushing river, a lazy tongue. Someone that curves and blares like the sun. Believe in her like she has already won.
Reason for signing up
Because I have something to say, my chest is heavy from holding all of my thoughts at bay.
