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.

Cody Evans | LexPoMo 2020

Bio for 2020

Cody is a middle school teacher and former journalist. Since his high school days, Cody has written songs. He started as a lyricist and singer in a punk band, then transitioned gradually to acoustic music as he began to age and tire more easily. Since he is a teacher, and not a famous rock star, he is beginning to suspect the music thing probably won’t work out. He has a BA in journalism and a master’s in teaching, both from Morehead State University.

Reason for signing up:

My wife is an excellent writer. She signed up and said, "Cody, I'm not doing this alone...plus, you have to do something this summer besides sit there and read Batman comics."
