From the poems of Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, and Emily
Dickinson, The FemPoetiks of American Poetry and Americana Music
presents a discourse of female empowerment, dubbed the FemPoetiks.
Situating the work of these poets in their historical eras, Nicole
Blair considers a sampling of their poems side by side with a
number of song lyrics by singer-songwriters Brandi Carlile,
Rhiannon Giddens, and Lucinda Williams, having found commonalities
of theme, motif, and language between them. Blair argues that while
FemPoetiks has continued to develop in various ways in American
poetry by women, that fact that this discourse finds expression in
songs by Americana female artists indicates a matrilineal line of
influence from the 1630s to today. In order to show the
omnipresence of this powerful feminist discourse, she closes the
book with eleven interviews she conducted with female
singer-songwriters from around the United States. The phenomenon of
FemPoetiks is not limited to the arts but extends into all areas of
American life, from the domestic to the political. FemPoetiks is a
woman's truth.
