{"product_id":"dangerous-goods-9781571314574","title":"Dangerous Goods","description":"\u003cb\u003eA magnificent poetry collection to follow-up the debut Kevin Young compared to the those of Langston Hughes, Gwendolyn Brooks, and Elizabeth Bishop's.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom the poet whose stunning debut was praised as \"transcendent\" by Kevin Young and \"steadily confident\" by Carl Phillips, \u003ci\u003eDangerous Goods\u003c\/i\u003e 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, \u003ci\u003eDangerous Goods\u003c\/i\u003e is poignant, elegant, and deeply moving.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Milkweed Editions\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/07\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781571314574\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 114\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.30h x 5.40w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Minnesota Book Award - Winner\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAward:\u003c\/b\u003e Midwest Booksellers' Choice Award - Finalist\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 11\/01\/2013 pg. 105\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Sean Hill","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36660150468764,"sku":"9781571314574","price":13.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_8dd6ac35-6335-4480-a6de-6bc9737d0a11.jpg?v=1603896208","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/dangerous-goods-9781571314574","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
