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:

I love a good challenge! I participated in LexPoMo last year. While I didn't post a poem every day, I wrote one every day. This practice is grueling (for me) but can pull out some good poems. Notice I said "can."

Poems Submitted This Year:

June 01, 2023 Three Haiku
