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

Margaret Heltzel spends much of her time in pursuit of life’s small wonders. She finds the sun to be energizing, words to be enlightening, and people to be inspiring - common discoveries that connect a world of optimistic observers. She quotes Kurt Vonnegut as often as opportunity allows and reads Mary Oliver in every trice of silence.
