When Kathleen Driskell pulled an old edition of Emily Post’s
Etiquette from the used bookstore shelf and blew dust off the blue
linen cover, she instantly found herself and her family within
those pages—not as the Worldlys, Oldlineages, or the Gildings
(archetypes Post created to demonstrate how to properly manage a
grand house full of servants), but as the housemaids, cooks, and
useful men working for those very rich. The noted poet—whose
collection Seed Across Snow was twice listed as a national
bestseller by the Poetry Foundation—explores class, the
workplace, and those tense interactions between the haves and the
have nots in her new collection. As America watches its
middle-class quickly decline, Blue Etiquette rings with relevance.
