Support LexPoMo

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.

Kim Kayne Shaver | LexPoMo 2024

Bio for 2024

Kim Shaver lives in Louisville, Kentucky, where she continues to expand her perennial garden and life—never certain what will pop up from year to year or who will build a nest using tiny bits of neighborhood laundry lint on the back deck. She earned a poetic license from the MFA program at Spalding University. However, had been writing for years before, but was never pulled over for a broken headlight or a far-fetched mixed metaphor.

Reason for signing up:

Doing this every June keeps me observant of the poems that happen each and everyday and brings forth the poems that have been bubbling about all year long.
