In class on friday I began to think about the feeling and tone of Lorde in her collection of essays. I started to think about how she would deliver her words and present through speech. Because of my curiousity I did a quick youtube search and began to listen to her present different speeches and talk in interviews. Personally, listening to the poet say the words in the way they were meant to be said added a completely new feeling to many of her pieces.
I found Lorde to be a powerful speaker, calm but firm. I was able to see how deeply accent and emphasis can effect the overall meaning in different pieces of literature. Lorde goes through her piece in a way that is logical and has an almost emotional effect on the listener. I felt listening to her voice speak her own words helped add meaning to the work.
