A magnificent poetry collection to follow-up the debut Kevin Young
compared to the those of Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and
Elizabeth Bishop's. From the poet whose stunning debut was praised
as "transcendent" by Kevin Young and "steadily confident" by Carl
Phillips, Dangerous Goods tracks its speaker throughout North
America and abroad, illuminating the ways in which home and place
may inhabit one another comfortably or uncomfortably -- or 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 "postcard" 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.
