here's some recs: sor juana inés de la cruz: yes, she's a nun from colonial mexico, but she did write love poems for her female patrons and enough of the literature on her indicates she might have been into women
renée vivien: another lesbian poet but one from around the turn of the 20th century this time who was heavily involved in parisian lesbian circles
djuna barnes: also involved in the parisian lesbian circles, though her poems tended to be less macabre and depressing than vivien's work
audre lorde: black lesbian feminist poet who's probably better known these days for her feminism than her poems but they're no less interesting
