Audre Lorde
“I am a reflection of my mother's secret poetry as well as of her hidden angers.”
Audre Lorde, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name

Audre Lorde
“Women have been programmed to view our bodies only in terms of how they look and feel to others, rather than how they feel to ourselves, and how we wish to use them. We are surrounded by media images portraying women as essentially decorative machines of consumer function, constantly doing battle with rampant decay. (Take your vitamins every day and he might keep you, if you don’t forget to whiten your teeth, cover up your smells, color your grey hair and iron out your wrinkles....) As women, we fight this depersonalization every day, this pressure toward the conversion of one’s own self-image into a media expectation of what might satisfy male demand.”
Audre Lorde, The Cancer Journals

Audre Lorde
“I have always wanted to be both man and woman...to share valleys and mountains upon my body the way the earth does in hills and peaks. I would like to enter a woman the way any man can, and be entered--to leave and to be left--to be hot and hard and soft all at the same time in the cause of our loving.”
Audre Lorde, Zami: A New Spelling of My Name

Anne Carson
“I am a restrained person.
Otherwise my heart would race past my
tongue to pour out everything.
Instead I mumble,
I gnaw myself.
I lose hope.
And my mind is burning.”
Anne Carson, An Oresteia

Anne Carson
“I’m a strange new kind of inbetween thing aren’t I
not at home with the dead nor with the living”
Anne Carson, Antigonick
