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.
Virginia Parfitt (Ginny) grew up in Northern Appalachia and the pull of the hills and hollows is strong, but the pull could not overcome the sheer economic reality of the area. Funny how even the not-so-good memories and hardships can seem lit from within, when the light hits from a just-so slant. She writes when the sun slants in just that way. She currently makes her home in southeastern Pennsylvania.
