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)

Mary is a writer living in Lexington with her husband, Jonathan, and their very old, very polite cat. Although she has written several novels, she considers poetry her native language.

Reason for signing up:

Because, after attending my first Poetry at the Table and a writing retreat with Leatha Kendrick, I wanted to be part of this community. Also, poet Mary Allen invited me.
