Best-selling poet Kathleen Driskell’s newest collection Blue Etiquette is inspired by Emily Post’s 1922 edition of Etiquette and explores the interactions between the haves and have nots through poems voiced by Mrs. Worldly and the Between Maid, narratives focusing on blue-collar Americans, and lyrics drifting through the blue etiquette of mourning beloveds.
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.
