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 (she/her)

In the 80s, Laverne was known as a poet, writer, hair designer. In the 90s, recognizing that “to publish is to make public,” she created the Working Class Kitchen for readings and Act of Power Press for publishing Artist books and chapbooks. In 2000 she became a fiber artist and designed Wearable Art for her performative readings and in 2022, coming out of the quiet of COVID, she created Cafe LuigArt so we could ROAR. Her newest chapbook is “Orange, a collection of sensuous poetry”
