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 have a collection I started in a class at UKy with Frank X Walker. We only had to submit 10 poems for the semester, and I really like the subject matter, so I want to get back to it. The topic is Lexington during Prohibition. The research is so much fun!

Poems Submitted This Year:

June 02, 2025 Unintended Consequences
June 03, 2025 Sell it All
June 04, 2025 Forbidden Fruit
June 05, 2025 University May Day, 1925
