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 2020

Kris teaches high school English (mostly from his dining room table these days). He recently used money saved during the pandemic to buy a surfboard. He knows that’s weird, so you don’t have to tell him.

Reason for signing up:

I love getting up to poetic shenanigans.
