From the poet whose stunning debut was praised as "e;transcendent"e; (Kevin Young) and "e;steadily confident"e; (Carl Phillips), Dangerous Goodstracks its speaker throughout North America and abroad, illuminating the ways in which home and place may inhabit one another comfortably or uncomfortablyor both simultaneously. From the Bahamas, London, and Cairo, to Bemidji, Minnesota, and Milledgeville, Georgia, Sean Hill interweaves the contemporary with the historical, and explores with urgency the relationship between travel, migration, alienation, and home. Here, playful "e;postcard"e; poems addressed to Nostalgia and My Third Crush Today sit alongside powerful reflections on the immigration of African Americans to Liberia during and after the era of slavery. Such range and formal innovation make Hill's second collection both rare and exhilarating. Part shadowbox, part migration map, part travelogue-in-verse, Dangerous Goods is poignant, elegant, and deeply moving.

Includes poems that create a call and response across six generations of family of the fictional Silas Wright, a black man born in 1907. This title takes on the voices and experiences of diverse characters in or connected to the Wright family.
