- More about FemPoetiks of American Poetry and Americana Music: A Woman's Truth
The FemPoetiks of American Poetry and Americana Music explores the female empowerment discourse found in the works of Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, and Emily Dickinson, comparing them to song lyrics by Americana female artists. Nicole Blair argues that this discourse has a matrilineal line of influence from the 1630s to today, and is present in all areas of American life.

The FemPoetiks of American Poetry and Americana Music presents a discourse of female empowerment, dubbed the FemPoetiks, from the poems of Anne Bradstreet, Phillis Wheatley, and Emily Dickinson. 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, the 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.
