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.

is that what being 22 is about

I looked around the table of my chosen family
They’ve seen my lows and been proud of me at my highest
Maybe I can’t leave them
Maybe I’m where I’m meant to be finally
I’m doing the biggest thing in my career next week
I’m doing something I’d never thought possible next week
Isn’t this what being 22 is about
Doing things that scare you
Meeting people who change your perspective
And make you fall in love with the simple thingsI was thinking about taking the next step in more ways than one
The thought of my life changing in a matter of weeks overwhelms me
The thought of my life not being what it was a year ago relieves me
The thought of doing this for the person I love the most drives me
I’m finally in the age of becoming
I’m finally okay with the art of becoming
Is that what being 22 is about

Help us keep on giving.
