Description: Analysis of Marson's early poems, aimed at emphasizing the effects on writing of black women identities. The essay underlines Marson's exploration of a gendered identity but warns against the danger of imposing a monolythical feminist voice upon Marson's poetry, rather defined as coded by oppositional experiences and thus framed by complexity. Donnell concluded that Marson employed a language imbued with patriarchal ideology in order to deconstruct the supporting ideologies of racism and sexism. |
