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

the anthology, lower printing costs, and expand opportunities
offered during Lexington Poetry Month, such as featured readings
