now that you have mentioned poetry I’m not going to give my unsolicited poetry thoughts :)

I technically haven’t been actively into poetry for a while but one of the first poets I fell in love with was courtney peppernell (who is also a lesbian!)

I’m not going to get out of bed to check what other stuff I have on my small poetry shelf but I know lang leav is also up there

nvm I got up and I also have books by rupi kaur and nikita gill 💖 I should reread, I love reading things that make me viscerally feel the human condition

ALSO I’m looking to get the sappho quote “someone will remember us I say, even in another time” which is so fucking RAW. something about people destroying the majority of her works and trying to erase her for being a woman and lesbian, yet this line out of all her work surviving. because you can hate us and try to make us disappear but we are here and we exist, we are queer and we love just as fiercely and significantly as everyone else and no one can take that away from us. I want it on my left forearm, I just need to save money and book an appointment at my preferred studio
