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.
