I first learned of Lesbia from reading She and Her Pretty Friend by Danielle Scrimshaw, and was enchanted by this Australian poet, her writing, and her queerness.
Lesbia’s poems are heartfelt, raw and beautifully reflective. They range from cosy, light poems that make you smile to ones that highlight heavier themes, prevalent both then and now. Some made me feel such joy, some made me weep, and some made me feel seen. I have many favourites from this collection, but I’ll just mention a few here:
- ‘I Count The Days Until I See You, Dear’
- ‘I Can’t Feel The Sunshine’
- A Soul In Flight
- ‘I Was Sad’
If you are a fan of Emily Dickinson’s poetry, I highly recommend picking up this sweet little number.
