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.

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.’

Stylised text says “The middle of the road is where poems go to die.” Against a black background with a pen nib logo.
