Any art from a marginalized group is first dismissed as necessarily trivial or lesser because it doesn’t value the same ideals as the mainstream. It is only through iteration and resilience that the markers used to keep us out become the elements for which we are prized. That’s why a journal devoted to lesbian poetry and art is vital it rejects tokenism; it makes visible the common themes between otherwise dissimilar writers and artists; and, most importantly, it shows the range and prowess of those who would otherwise be limited to one feature of their work.
—Eloise Stonborough, on Lavender Review at Ms.
Lavender Review, born on Gay Pride Day, 2010, is an international, biannual e-zine dedicated to poetry and art by, about, and for lesbians, including whatever might appeal to a lesbian readership. This is Lavender Review’s first foray into print, and represents a selection of poems from the first five years.
The 48 contributors to this anthology include renowned and new lesbian poets; translations of Marina Tsvetaeva, Renée Vivien, and Sappho; some poems from the past by Amy Lowell, Charlotte Mew, Sara Teasdale, and others; and a few lesbian-friendly poems by straight and gay poets.

I'm not sure what I expected when I ordered this anthology from Lavender Review, but I was surprised by how personal and revealing the works were. It turns out the publisher, Headmistress Press, is named ironically. There are many delicious poems from a range of writers. It is charming and the curatorial prowess of editor, Mary Meriam, is stunning. If you are looking for porn, buy something else. If you want to know the thoughts and emotions of a sample lesbian community, this is the volume for you. This is not kink, it's beauty. There are many flavors in this collection but I was struck by them all. These tastes are for us. I highly recommend this book which has been artfully and tastefully presented.Product details

Lavender Review Poems from the First Five Years Mary Meriam 9780692356210 Books Reviews
A lovely range of poets Sappho, Rose Kelleher, Joy Ladin, Leslea Newman, Minnie Bruce Pratt, Robin Becker, Eleanor Lerman, Sarah Sarai, Risa Denenberg, Mary Meriam (the editor), and others. This is an anthology of lesbian poets which is inclusive enough to include a few men. So great to have so many voices new and old in this nifty paperback.
