Reviews
Khadijah Queen outdoes herself with captivating poems examining the dualities of joy and pain, love and loss, knowing and ignorance.--Ms. Magazine
These poems are a reminder of all that is still possible in this world, no matter how much tragedy surrounds us.--Refinery29
Accomplished. . . . Queen's collection reads as a testament to the power of poetry to raise awareness and shape the world.--Publishers Weekly
Exploring themes of body as metaphor and as physical being, joy, grief, love, ignorance, endurance, and choice, Queen once again shows herself to be a master of zooming in on small moments and panning out to big questions.--Shondaland
Anodyne captivates with poignant, resilient poems; ones that face toughness with lucidity: of losing family and facing landscapes full of 'untended loveliness of the forsaken.' All of which builds an affective and luminous sense of record, of observing and perceiving. . . . Queen's commanding style: building the poetic edges that are laced with endeavors, hurdles, grace, and truth into an eye-wide and powerfully deep poetry collection.--Prageeta Sharma, author of Grief Sequence
Anodyne is a study of form & cavedwell, feminism as foresight, and archives the articulation of black excellence & resilience. . . . Many (re)discoveries are assured with the preciseness of Queen's poetic legend.--Mahogany L. Browne, author of Black Girl Magic
