This paper explores the effectiveness of the intersectional feminist reading of the African-Caribbean American poet Audre Lorde in analyzing the different experiences of black women in the U.S.A. as multiple marginalized subjects. Towards this end, this paper utilizes some main tenets of the intersectional feminism such as women of color's intra group differences, the complexity of identity, identities as coalitions and the interlocking system of oppressions. Kimberlé Williams Crenshaw's essay, "Mapping the Margins: Intersectionality, Identity Politics, and Violence Against Women of Color" (1994) demonstrates these tenets elaborated on by Anna Carastathis' "Identity Categories as Potential Coalitions" (2013) and "Identity as Coalitions" (2016). The poems in the study are "Power" and "Litany for Survival". Reading these tenets of the concept of intersectionality in Lorde's selected poems affirms and highlights the particular experiences of women of color and their differences along with those of men of color. It also finds expression in decreasing the tension among them.
