Bio:
Aaron isn't a poet despite loving words. The sentence is what drew him to writing and fueled his desire for a Master's in Fiction, which he now uses quite infrequently.
Reason for Signing Up:
Another member invited me to try. I know I've missed a few days.
Aaron Reding
Reason for Signing Up:
Consistency is important and is something I struggle
with. This is the time of year where even if my attention has wandered, I can come back to a welcoming environment and just start writing again.
Abby Kane
Bio:
Abby Kane is a sophomore at DePaul University studying animation with a minor in screenwriting. In her limited free time, she loves writing anything from stories, to songs, to poems, and beyond. She recently published her first novel, "Song of the Stars," and is working on the sequel.
Reason for Signing Up:
I don't write poetry nearly as often as I would like to, so I always love a way to hold myself accountable!

Bio:
Anna Johnson Kline is a poet, musician, and songwriter who makes her home in Mt. Sterling. She grew up in small town Mississippi between the Chickasaw Bluffs of Memphis and the furrowed rows of Delta farmland. She was raised on a steady diet of hymns, three-part harmonies, and Memphis soul. Her writing is directly influenced by the redemptive strains of gospel, the drawling tremolo of rhythm and blues, and the raw twang of the mountain landscape. She is currently immersed in the Poetry Gauntlet at the Carnegie Center and is working on a collaborative songwriting project called "Thinking Like a Mountain."
Reason for Signing Up:
Poetry Gauntlet—and I am interested in connecting with more Lex-area writers.

They are very excited about this year's LexPoMo and can't wait to read the amazing poems that will be written this year!

I participated in LexPoMo last year and really enjoyed it, so that's why I signed up this year!
