“The Negroes Send Their Love is brilliant and immersive. A rich honoring of place, lineage, and history also interwoven with the cares and concerns of fatherhood, of loss, and of love in the future. I am thankful for all these poems carry—and all that they demand we carry alongside them.”—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There’s Always This Year

“The Negroes Send Their Love is brilliant and immersive. A rich honoring of place, lineage, and history also interwoven with the cares and concerns of fatherhood, of loss, and of love in the future. I am thankful for all these poems carry—and all that they demand we carry alongside them.”—Hanif Abdurraqib, author of There’s Always This Year “Bold, brilliant, and defying restriction, The Negroes Send Their Love is a remarkable new offering from Sean Hill. This book recognizes the past as the future’s foundation. Tradition and innovation combine in the hybrid chorus of poems, essays, and stories that sing on these pages. Filled as it is with wide-ranging, visionary love, Hill’s book is unflinchingly committed to casting clear light on the lives he centers.”—Camille T. Dungy, author of America, A Love Story ""Lyrical, profound, and utterly essential, The Negroes Send Their Love is a powerful message sent across the void, demanding we listen, remember, and imagine what worlds we might yet build. Read it and be transformed.”—Sheree Renée Thomas, author of Dark Matter
