Blacksburg Books presents a Book Launch with Khadijah Queen on Tuesday, August 5, 2025.
Join us for the book launch of Khadijah Queen’s memoir "Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea"!
Khadijah Queen is the author of seven books of poetry and prose. She teaches at Virginia Tech in the Department of English as part of the award-winning creative writing faculty.
“Longing to escape the cycle of her family's poverty, incarceration, and addiction, Queen joins the US Navy. But she soon finds herself faced with sexual harassment, demeaning assignments, and overt racism. Stuck on a ship with nowhere to hide, she looks to poetry, literature, and letters from home to get through. Queen must decide whether her loyalties lie with the Navy or within herself. Unflinching and masterful, Queen questions the promises of service to reveal the true price of being a woman at sea.”
Blacksburg Books is located at 401 South Main Street, Suite 106 in Blacksburg, VA.
