ReviewsConduit is a challenging book because she gives you so much to ponder in so little time. I found myself turning back to poems, needing to reread a line or two, surprised and amazed at how fresh and engaging imagery can be in the hands of poet with stunning intellectual powers.

Synopsis"Khadijah Queen is a poet with stunning intellectual powers. It's a worthwhile experience to spend such quality time in an inaugural book of poems." -Eloise Klein Healy Khadijah Queen was born near Detroit and raised in LA. A Cave Canem Fellow, navy veteran, and founding member of Red Thread Collective, she currently lives and works in Atlanta, Georgia., "Khadijah Queen's Conduit is lyrically addictive and singularly mesmerizing, the perfect illustration of what can happen when a deft arbiter of language sets her sights inward where heat resides. Pages of lean miracles rattle perception and leave the reader leaning forward, craving Queen's signature brand of electricity. Prepare to be jolted." --Patricia Smith, author of Teahouse of the Almighty Conduit is infused with the cacophony of everyday existence and the neon dance of dreams. This intricate debut by Khadijah Queen channels the unbroken murmurs between body and spirit, methodically traversing an uncertain reality on a path that moves beyond the edges of words. In deference to Plato, Cratylus, and Central American rituals, Conduit exposes a tender core, fearlessly pulling away the roughened muslin of our shared human skin., Infused with the cacophony of everyday existence and the neon dance of dreams, this intricate debut by Khadijah Queen channels the unbroken murmurs between body and spirit, methodically traversing an uncertain reality on a path that moves beyond the edges of words.
