Virtual Lesbian Library is our online book club hosted over Google Meet every second Sunday of each month. The link goes out to our mailing list, Discord and Instagram.
Join our Discord to take part in book club discussions throughout the month.
For our next book this year we will be reading a poetry collection:
The Last Lesbian Bar in the Midlands – Cleo Henry
“The thrilling debut pamphlet from Cleo Henry, The Last Lesbian Bar in the Midlands fuses the classics with lesbian culture, fizzing with excitement and wordplay.
With references to Achilles, Lea De Laria, Carson McCullers, Helen of Troy and Cynthia Nixon, the poems in this pamphlet mesh pop cultural references with mythology while delving into love, sex and modern queer communities.” [x]
This collection by London based poet Cleo Henry was published in 2022 through LGBTQ+ poetry journal Fourteen Poems. It is a fairly short anthology packed with lesbian cultural references and we are looking forward to reading it this month.
