a house divided against itself

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.

a house divided against itself

God’s in the attic
burnin up

The devil’s chillin
in the basement
high as hell

We’re stuck in the living room

looking out the window

at the bloody beautiful sunset
