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 2021

Virginia Parfitt (Ginny) grew up in Northern Appalachia and the pull of the hills and hollows is strong, but the pull could not overcome the sheer economic reality of the area. Funny how even the not-so-good memories and hardships can seem lit from within, when the light hits from a just-so slant. She writes when the sun slants in just that way. She currently makes her home in southeastern Pennsylvania.

Reason for signing up:

Love the concept of a poem a day! I feel like I could use the motivation of haveing this as a goal!
