This article examines early concepts of intersectional and queer theory in terms of Audre Lorde’s writing, particularly poems, suggesting that Lorde’s poetry corresponds to her theory. Audre Lorde critiques and resists androcentric ideas of mainstream feminism and the civil rights movement by revealing her complex identity and subjectivity as a black lesbian feminist. Thus, the first section of this article sketches out the representation of Black women by the male-dominated civil rights movement as well as the silencing of their voices by heterosexual second-wave feminism in the 1960s and ’70s in order to show that Lorde’s tropes are rooted within her lived experience as a marginalized woman. The second section specifically analyzes Lorde’s poem, “Who Said It Was Simple” in From a Land Where Other People Live (1973) to demonstrate how she poetically embodies a voice of intersectionality. The last section then offers a detailed analysis of how another of Lorde’s important poems, “A Woman Speaks” in The Black Unicorn (1978), represents the historical, mythical voice and identity of Black women to express the potentiality of Black women’s sexuality and sisterhood.
Abstract
This article examines early concepts of intersectional and queer theory in terms of Audre Lorde’s writing, particularly poems, suggesting that Lorde’s poetry corresponds to her theory. Audre Lorde critiques and resists androcentric ideas of mainstream feminism and the civil rights movement by revealing her complex identity and subjectivity as a black lesbian feminist. Thus, the first section of this article sketches out the representation of Black women by the male-dominated civil rights movement as well as the silencing of their voices by heterosexual second-wave feminism in the 1960s and ’70s in order to show that Lorde’s tropes are rooted within her lived experience as a marginalized woman. The second section specifically analyzes Lorde’s poem, “Who Said It Was Simple” in From a Land Where Other People Live (1973) to demonstrate how she poetically embodies a voice of intersectionality. The last section then offers a detailed analysis of how another of Lorde’s important poems, “A Woman Speaks” in The Black Unicorn (1978), represents the historical, mythical voice and identity of Black women to express the potentiality of Black women’s sexuality and sisterhood.
