Description: Expanding theoretical practice to return radicality to its original meaning from the Latin--forming a root
Review Quotes:
June Jordan once posed that the central question she asks of texts and contexts is: 'where is the love?' Spiritual descendant of Jordan and Lorde, of Morrison and Clifton, Khadijah Queen and her Radical Poetics enacts that radical question through readings of literature from Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz to Natasha Trethewey. Radical Poetics is a trust poetics, an intuitive poetics, an integrity poetics, a self-determination poetics, a blazing comet of a liberatory love supreme poetics, lighting our benighted academies and literary spaces.
-- "Philip Metres, author of Fugitive/Refuge"
