Famous Geranium

Michelle Meier's first collection of poems, "Famous Geranium", traverses the stuff of accidents, peculiarities, contradictions, futilities, losses, and dreams. Meier's precise language and exacting attention reveal the luminous strangeness that inhabits the most ordinary objects and occurences and takes us in touching distance of the nearly-here and nearly-seen but just out of reach. "Meier's response to the world's quietest signals- this gorgeous book- feels effortless," writes Miranda Field. "All is magical, aglow, like a glass of simple tap water in winter light."
