Fun little challenge each year

Poetry has always been the place where Hope makes sense of the things that are difficult to carry out loud. She signed up for Lexington Poetry Month to connect with other writers, share pieces rooted in vulnerability and healing, and continue growing her voice within a creative community. Much of her work explores womanhood, motherhood, trauma, recovery, identity, and the complicated process of becoming. As both a social worker and future counselor, she is deeply interested in the ways storytelling can create connection, challenge shame, and help people feel less alone.

LexPoMo is one of the ways I stay connected to my roots and this amazing community of writers.

I enjoy the community this creates.

I can no longer imagine a June that doesn’t involve lots and lots and lots of poetry.

To read (mostly) and share (as often as possible) poetry in this incredibly creative and inspiring community.

I was referred by my friend Katie at work. Im not very prolific but I would like to try to produce more. Having a forum for my writings could prove to be very inspiring!
