In analyzing the poetry of Mona Feather, we are confronted with three different
yardsticks by which to measure her work. We could consider her poems as the product
of a twentieth-century artist in the tradition of James Joyce, T.S. Eliot, and Wallace
Stevens. However, to do so would be to ignore a facet that informs every word she
writes and that stems from her identity as a woman. Yet, to characterize her solely as a
woman poet is to deny her cultural heritage, for Mona Feather is also the first modern
poet of stature who is also an American Indian.
Stanley Wilson has argued compellingly that the huge popularity Feather enjoys
among the Indian reservation school population of the United States is creating a
whole new generation of poetry enthusiasts in an age when the reading of poetry is on
the wane. While this is undoubtedly true, Mr. Wilson's praise gives the impression that
Feather's readership is limited to her own culture - an impression which hints that Mr.
Wilson is himself measuring her by only one criterion. Radical feminist writers have
long found in Feather's poetry a sense of self-pride which strikes a chord with their
own more political philosophies. Her imagery, which always made use of the early
Native American traditions in which the woman had an important role, was seen as
the awakened sensibility of a kindred spirit.
Yet for all the “feminist” touches in her writing, it would be a disservice to
consign Feather to the ranks of politicized writers, for her message is deeper than that.
The despair that characterized twentieth-century modern poets is to be found in Mona
Feather's work as well; she writes of the American Indians of the 1930s confined to
ever-shrinking reservations and finds in that a metaphor for all of modern mankind
trapped on a shrinking earth of limited resources.
