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 2024

CJ is a first-year participant in LexPoMo. She loves writing, journaling, and leaving love notes for friends and family on Post-Its.

Reason for signing up:

I've found it challenging to sit with my creative self the last few years, so LexPoMo will serve as a trailhead for re-engaging that part of me. Also, I have a rule: if something feels scary, I have to try it.
