Front cover of the book ‘Radical Poetics’ by Khadijah Queen, published in the Poets on Poetry Series by the University of Michigan Press edited by Derek Pollard. The cover features a Black woman sitting barefoot in a dimly lit, eclectic space surrounded by books and fabric drapes. The atmosphere is reminiscent of steampunk with a Southern gothic twist. The woman is wearing a pink dress and sitting on a floral-patterned surface. The subtitle reads ‘Essays on Literature & Culture.’
What if emotion IS knowledge?
@khadijahqueen.com’s RADICAL POETICS makes the case that “poetry exists as a valuable tool for understanding,” not despite its emotional resonance, but precisely because of it.
