Search Party

Beschreibung
Richard Meier's first collection of poetry won many admirers not just for its author's wry, wise and sharp-eyed insight into the minutiae of daily life, but for his disconcerting ability to reveal the little abysses that lurk just below the domestic familiar. As the title indicates, his second, Search Party, casts its net more widely - and considers our experiences of being lost to others, as well as from ourselves. Many of the poems explore attempts to repair severed connections, or to forge links never properly established. Whether they describe a father's desperate search for his son missing at sea, a child's reaction to being denied a responsive gaze, or a footballer's sublime (if optimistic) pass to a teammate, these poems address the nature of the distances between us. Most importantly, they also show the lengths to which we will go to ensure that they are closed, and that the most basic of our needs are met: to be seen, to be recognized - and ultimately, sought out and found by one another.
