I feel that this poem is based on a marriage. In my theory the husband doesn't appreciate her, but she loves him and will not let him go. I think when she says "steered the boat there through this hot misblotted sunlight, critical light imperceptibly scalding the skin these hands will also salve" she means that she is the only one working to keep up their relationship. I think her husband is to be described as "the boat with a spasmodic outboard motor," and she is the sea, guiding him home to the island where she would still like him to stay. I feel that the sun is his rage towards her and although it's burning her she won't leave. I believe she will burn in his sunlight until she dies.

Analyze the poem for the record by adrienne rich?

"For the Record" by Adrienne Rich is a poem that reflects on the limitations of language in conveying complex feelings and experiences. Rich uses the metaphor of a record player to explore the ways in which language can both communicate and obscure the truth of one's inner self. The poem ultimately suggests that true understanding and connection can only be achieved by going beyond words and engaging with one's innermost emotions and experiences.
