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, \u003cem\u003eDangerous Goods\u003c\/em\u003e is poignant, elegant, and deeply moving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eSean Hill\u003c\/b\u003e was born and raised in Milledgeville, Georgia, and received an MFA from the University of Houston.
