[EDITED 19 May 2019: After reading Sam Escobar’s essay “On Being Non-Binary in Female-Centric Spaces” and Kat Marchán’s “On the Design of Women’s Spaces,” I realized that this list, “LBT+ Women & Non-Binary Poets,” has been saying one thing and doing another. The title mentions non-binary poets, but the vast majority of poets actually in the list are women. So as not to continue tokenizing non-binary poets, I have created a new list: “Lesbian and Bi+ Women Poets,” which obviously includes both trans and cis women. You can find a list of non-cis poets, including non-binary people and trans men, by Bogi Takács on GoodReads.]

Here is a list of published volumes by contemporary lesbian, bi+, and trans women and non-binary poets who are writing today. Obviously this list is Anglophone-centric and informed by the volumes inhabiting my bookshelves … If you would like to be added or removed, please let me know!

Note: One anthology that everyone should read is Black Lesbians — We Are the Revolution!, a recent issue of Sinister Wisdom guest-edited by JP Howard and Amber Atiya. My copy arrived in the mail just a few days ago, and already it’s an invaluable resource as I continue to update this list.
