It considers how we fashion identities through formative relationships with history and community, with our ancestors, our children, and ourselves. These connections underscore our ties to nature and emphasize humanity's seemingly inevitable turn to violence. For instance, a meditation on the white-headed woodpecker connects to knowledge of Black miners in nineteenth century Roslyn, Washington, and sparks an understanding of white-headed woodpeckers as \"arboreal miners\" with \"a patch of red feathers \/ on the back of their crowns\" that the speaker observes and \"can't help but see blood.\" \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis collection ranges in setting from antebellum Georgia to twenty-first century Alaska, from the Wild West to the Asteroid Belt in the twenty-fifth century. The exploration of people in relation to place excavates the complexity of heritage and privilege, fatherhood amid environmental collapse, and the inherited memories, abilities, hardships, and love that link Black people living centuries apart. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTaken together, these poems, queries, and possibilities paint a sensibility that strives to integrate itself into the known world, and through that world into an imagined future. In searching for answers that almost arrive, \u003ci\u003eThe Negroes Send Their Love\u003c\/i\u003e reveals a heart as big as the home it seeks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sean Hill","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47473622450412,"sku":"9781639550364","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9781639550364.jpg?v=1775335863","url":"https:\/\/intl.allstora.com\/products\/negroes-send-their-love-poems-perspectives-and-possible-futures","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
