Can’t Think Straight
by Isabel Scheck
Genre: poetry/lgbtqia/romance
A collection of 35 poems in which a poet thinks about women a little too much… (Sapphic poetry)
Excerpt:
Poem no. 7: Scary, Isn’t It?
I often think about how scary it is;
one minute you’re fine and the next
you’re yearning for a girl you’ve only just met. And the mere thought of her is enough to give you violent butterflies.
The more you get to know her
the more she becomes everything you think about.
The more you know her the funnier and prettier she becomes until the butterflies aren’t
only reserved for when she’s near;
they’re there forevermore.
I often think about how scary it is;
How is it that a singular person has that much of an effect on you?
It’s scary because you know that you’re giving her the power to break your heart if she so chooses.

This looks like an interesting collection.
I love lesbian poetry. This one I’m particularly interested in reading. The excerpt from the book is so good.
