American Herstory by celeste doaks is a collection of ekphrastic poems around the portrait of Michelle Obama that hangs in the White House, interrogating the visual and cultural record of her years as First Lady. Through a prism of history, gender, and representation, doaks transforms public images into a layered investigation of power, visibility, and the cultural narrative of the United States.
