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

Well, they did say contemporary, or I'd have recced more people :D I do like Audre Lorde's poetry.
