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.

Reason for signing up:

Think about this, y'all: We all have the same 26 letters to work with. Just like Wendell Berry and Ernest Hemingway. I am not a poet -- so I hope my *real* poet friends go easy on me. But this is a great stretch for my fiction writing brain. (And I can't do anything without a deadline.) Also, I love the community. We need it always, but especially in these times.
