Lyric poetry uses metaphors and conceits to express “deeply personal feelings” as it “unsettles, disturbs, and makes us wonder.” Examining “The House of Yemanjá,” identify places where Audre Lorde uses metaphors and shows deeply personal feelings, and explain how these metaphors might contribute to a goal of unsettling us or inspiring wonder.

Explanation:

In the part of the poem "The house of Yemanjá", where Audre Lorde says that:

"My mother had two faces and a frying pot    

where she cooked up her daughters

into girls

before she fixed our dinner.

My mother had two faces

and a broken pot

where she hid out a perfect daughter    

who was not me

I am the sun and moon and forever hungry    

for her eyes".

She uses metaphors like "My mother had two faces and a frying pot    where she cooked up her daughters  into girls " , in this excerpt Ana Lorde refers to the education her mother gave her to be a conventional girl in the system, and in the part that says that "I am the sun and the moon and forever hungry for her eyes." She refers to her personality, who is a challenger and activist for feminist rights and the fight against racism.

She uses these resources as ways of expressing her personal feelings and impacting the reader to make her texts more expressive.
