Download Dangerous Goods: Poems AudioBook Free
In the poet whose stunning debut was praised as "transcendent" (Kevin Young) and "steadily assured" (Carl Phillips), Dangerous Goods tracks its speaker throughout THE UNITED STATES and overseas, illuminating the ways that home and place may inhabit one another easily or uncomfortably - or both all together. In the Bahamas, London, and Liberia, 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 "postcard" poems addressed to Nostalgia and My Third Crush Today sit alongside powerful reflections on the immigration of African Us citizens to Liberia during and after the era of slavery. Such range and formal development make Hill's second collection both rare and exhilarating. Part shadowbox, part migration map, part travelogue-in-verse, Dangerous Goods is poignant, chic, and deeply moving.
