Nothing Beats a Fountain Pen by kartikay.sahay (cc by-nc)
In Ask Metafilter, pleasebekind asks “Can you recommend any contemporary love poems or poetry collections?” … I would really like to read more works by women and queer poets, as well as poets of colour. I love when the ordinary life is being talked about, or when the poem doesn’t make you think it’s a love poem in the beginning. Interested to read how other poets write about the erotic, of the body, being a woman, being human. Or perhaps distances/geography. Or identity. Kink also okay or self-love.
