Lexington Poetry Month 2024 Writing Challenge

Register Here | View 2024 Participants

from our About page:

The #LexPoMo Writing Challenge is an annual event during June where all participants are challenged to write a poem every day and (if they want) post it to the blog. Poems appear on the homepage and other members of the community can comment on your poem. 

If you post at least five (5) poems during LexPoMo, your poems will be reviewed by a guest editor for inclusion in an annual anthology. The editor picks one poem, using their own criteria and discretion, from each poet1. If our publisher – Workhorse – has raised enough money for the year, then each published poet will receive a free copy of the anthology. 

For more information, please consult our Frequently Asked Questions or send us a message.
