According to Her Contours Beautiful Barbarians:
Lesbian Feminist Poetry
by Lilian Mohin (Editor)
Beautiful Barbarians Dreams of the Woman Who Loved Sex:
An Erotic Collection:
Prose, Poetry and Photo Art
A nice mix of poetry and verse. The author (Tee Corinne) also wrote (Illustrated) the Cunt Coloring Book a funny, and liberating book about female genitalia.
Dreams of the Woman Who Loved Sex In Her I Am
This collection is not just erotic poetry, it is the butch/femme dance done with lust, grace, and joy. It let's us see and feel the arousal, head held high as she twirls in that bright red dress. Take this book to bed and feel the tingle.
In Her I Am Girls Will Be Girls
A well-written selection of short stories of excellent quality. I've already read the book twice and will read it again. She touches on many issues: Jewishness, old age, lesbian bed death, anger, family, tradition, and lots and lots of love. It is amazing that one woman can deftly tell the stories of so many different women.

Girls Will Be Girls My Lover Is a Woman:
Contemporary Lesbian Love Poems
I love poetry and this is one of the best anthologies I have ever read. The poems are moving, sensual beyond description, earthy, humorous, sexy, and very intense. It seems that women writing about other women convey a depth and beauty that I have not often found in heterosexual poetry. Highly recommended for anyone who loves great poetry.
My Lover Is a Woman Sappho:
A New Translation
Sappho now enjoys as nearly perfect an English translation as one can find, a great translation, an immensely moving translation, complete, beautiful, deserving of endless praise.
The copy may seem spare at first but the power of Sappho's words more than fill the page. I was first introduced to this text by a dear friend. That is how you should share it. This translation is both complete and avoids overly politicizing her life. Well worth the price.
Sappho: A New Translation Sappho - Poems, A New Version
Translated from the Ancient Greek by Barnstone.
This polished translation brilliantly reflects those spare but sparkling lines from the winsome poet of a lonely isle and heart. I find it still superb after many readings. Highly recommended.
Sappho - Poems, A New Version Sister Outsider:
Essays and Speeches
Perhaps ... I am the face of one of your fears. Because I am a woman, because I am Black, because I am a lesbian, because I am myself, a Black woman warrior poet doing my work, come to ask you, are you doing yours? This is how the author introduces herself in a paper entitled The Transformation of Silence into Language and Action.
Audre Lorde takes personal responsibility for this essential, perpetual transformation. In Sister Outsider she enters into dialogue with listeners and readers, lending us her voice and challenging us to speak and act for ourselves.
Sister Outsider The Key to Everything:
Classic Lesbian Love Poems
Beautiful poetry that will touch you, in a way that you like to be touched. Warm, loving, and thought provoking.
The Key to Everything The Laughter of Aphrodite:
A Novel About Sappho of Lesbos
Scholar, historian, novelist, and professor of classics at the University of Texas (Austin), Peter Green recreates the life and times of the Greek lyric poet Sappho. The surviving fragments of Sappho's poetry reveal a mature woman of unflinching honesty. Sappho and her daily life on the island of ancient Lesbos are brought vividly to life via Green's extraordinary talent. This work was first published in 1965.
The Laughter of Aphrodite The Love Songs of Sappho
Sappho was the greatest lyric poet of Greece, and any modern reader of her poetry can easily see why. Although she admittedly suffers in translation, one must learn to ignore the frustration caused by the occasional awkward translation. One must also try to ignore the fragmentary nature of her poems.
There was once a definitive edition which consisted of nine books, but it was burned in the Middle Ages because of the lesbian love poems. The poems we have now are just papyrus fragments or quotations. However, even in English, even with only a few extant pieces, Sappho's poetry is vibrant and beautiful.
