I was so distressed last year when I was unable to get onto Accents blog for LexPoMo, due to techno difficulties that as soon as I got the email to sign up I jumped at the opportunity. I enjoy reading poems by my peers and the writers in Lexington. I want to be part of this community of great writers, poets and people.
