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.

Bio for 2019

Jordyn Manczyk is a native of Lexington, Kentucky, where she currently lives with her husband and her droopy-eared Bagle-hound. She is a graduate of the University of Kentucky MFA program in Creative Writing, and she is currently a PhD student at UK studying Higher Education Policy and teaching Developmental Composition. She loves to write about family, nature, and the rolling hillsides of her beloved Kentucky home. When she isn't writing, she's probably listening to a podcast, cooking, or playing Dungeons and Dragons.

Reason for signing up:

This is my third year signing up with Lexington Poetry Month, and I have found that LexPoMo gets me connected with writers in my area, keeps me writing, and reminds me that there is always room for art and hope in a dark world.
