Shelley Gave Jane A Guitar

Basking in the twilight of Late Romanticism, Meier . . . finds the rays seductive but damaging . . . Meier s sophisticated debut promises further developments. Publishers Weekly on Terrain Vague

Domesticity, nature, and heartbreak inhabit this seriously playful second collection. Through precise description and inventive vocabulary, Meier s poems are relentless in their efforts to sincerely address contemporary uncertainty and love. A great book for readers looking to rediscover Romantic poetry: Embrace was a word first used of forts, / until the one body fell down inside the other body, and was lost.
