Abstract
- Ideological bias put blinders on my eyes and cotton in my ears preventing me from taking an authentic ethnographic stance toward working-class women during the 2016 American presidential elections. The poem, Deplorables, recognizes that bias and tries to right it through concrete examples. In so doing, the poem is about any powerless woman who has been treated deplorably. And that’s why poetry.
