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

Carrie has been writing for enjoyment and expression, since she could string together sentences. <br />She is a Catholic, a life-long Kentuckian, a wife to an "enginerd," and a mother to three beautiful girls.

Reason for signing up:

At last, her little "vessel for verse" is ready to be set "out to sea." She has realized the words are not meant to be locked away, so she is setting them free.
