Misadventure won the inaugural Picador Poetry Prize, and is Richard
Meier's first collection. Misadventure is a book about what we
learn, and what we refuse to learn: although Meier's poems are
often deceptively quiet in their address, the reader will soon
discover a poet capable of illuminating the darkest corners of our
lives by the very lightest of touches, and an ear simultaneously
attuned to the lyric poem and the cadence of real speech. The
collection also contains some disarmingly tender poetry on the
experience of fatherhood. Misadventure is about all the hope and
hopelessness lurking just below the surface of things, in our
rooms, tables, coats and gardens - and leaves them enriched and
strange, under the transforming eye of a fine new talent.
