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.

Kim Kayne Shaver | LexPoMo 2019

Bio for 2019

Kim lives in fairy tale cottage in Louisville, KY. Has been reading serious autobiographies about women leaders lately—Sandra Day O’connor, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Madelyn Albright—taking a break from poetry upon completion (finally) of her MFA in poetry from Spalding University in June 2018–yeah!

Reason for signing up:

I love the challenge! And, think the time limit will make poems free of fear & editing! More spontaneous & original!
