Ransom Street is Claire Millikin's third collection of poetry with
2Leaf Press. The poems in this volume meditate on the idea of
ransom to explore legacies of violence in the southeastern United
States, ultimately seeking moments of reckoning for these unsettled
histories. A fee paid to release a prisoner, ransom can, Millikin
shows us, initiate a sacrificial act that drives people apart, but
also, when paid, can bring the homeless home. The poems in Ransom
Street move through the question of release elliptically, exploring
these abstract implications of ransom through a fictional street in
a southeastern American town. The presence of inherited violence,
cultural and familial, haunt the terrain of Ransom Street, as the
poems move through a geography of ghosts, always seeking "ransom,"
the sacrificial act that returns the self to wholeness.
