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 2025

Sanida Palavra is an aspiring writer and poet from Bosnia and Herzegovina living in the Bluegrass state. By day, she works in the finance department for a sustainability non-profit, but by night, she dives into the world of writing.

Reason for signing up:

Poetry felt distant and foreign to me until last year when I joined LexPoMo for the first time. The poem “Landmines” came flowing out of me, surprising me. I have been practicing writing poetry since then and thought I’d join LexPoMo this year again.

NOTE: Because poets have the ability to hide their badges and because registrations on LexPoMo.com only started in 2017, this may not represent an accurate portrayal of poems published by their associated poets, badges assigned to a poet, a poet's participation in the Writing Challenge, or anyone's relationship to Lexington Poetry Month, the Writing Challenge, or any other events, organizations, or persons.

To find a particular poem, please use the search bar at the top or bottom of the page. If you are a poet and see something missing, inaccurate, or incomplete, please reach out to us on our Contact page.
