Charlotte Mew
Charlotte Mew’s poetry is very varied in terms of themes. Born in 1869,
some of her works talk about faith, questioning the existence of God,
while others are dramatic monologues often told from a male perspective.
Two of her poems are about mental illness, which is not surprising
since she lost two siblings to it. She and her remaining sister made a
pact to never marry for fear of passing along the “insanity.” Through
most of her adult life, Mew kept her hair short and dressed in men’s
clothing. Though celibate, she is considered by many authors to almost
certainly have been a lesbian.Source: http://www.bidnessetc.com/entertainment/poetry-knows-sexual-preference-10-famous-lgbt-poets-history/
