Richard Meier's first collection of poetry, Misadventure, won many
admirers for its wry, wise and sharp-eyed insight into the minutiae
of daily life. This, his second, Search Party, casts its net more
widely - and looks at our experiences of being lost to others, as
well as lost from ourselves. Many of the poems in this collection
explore attempts to repair severed connections, or to forge links
never properly established: from a father's desperate search for
his son missing at sea, to a child's reaction to being denied a
responsive gaze, and 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 these distances 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.
