On this episode of the KidLit Love podcast, I’m talking with Tony Keith Jr. about his newest young adult poetry collection: Knucklehead.

Knucklehead is a brilliant and electric poetry collection that subverts a narrow way of thinking and empathizes with young people who are misunderstood and unheard. 

Come listen as we talk about the power of words on the page and on the stage, the all-encompassing audience it was written for and the way words can help us find our purpose. 

You’ll find the show notes for the episode with links to all of the books and resources mentioned right here: https://www.alitlife.com/2025/06/19/power-on-the-page-stage-knucklehead-by-tony-keith-jr/
