This Wretched Vessel Release/Reading Tonight

This Wretched VesselThe Lexington Poetry Month 2014 Writing Challenge led to 114 poets submitting over 1,100 poems on the Accents Publishing Blog. You can sign up for this year’s Writing Challenge by clicking here*, but the featured poets will have a chance to read their work tonight at the Carnegie Center for Literacy and Learning.

Anyone who has been published in the anthology is welcome to read, and anyone who is interested in Lexington, poetry, or Lexington Poetry Month is encouraged to attend and bring friends, family, and poetry fiends. We will provide light refreshments and snacks. You will provide a fun, supportive atmosphere for our featured poets.

Also, a big shout-out goes to Eric Sutherland for giving Accents such a kind and generous mention during last night’s Holler Poets reading, and to Jude Lally for reading “No Matter What”, the poem that gave us the title of our anthology. We are so gracious to not only have such people in our books, but in our lives as well.
