My second full collection, Whatever You Do, Just Don't, was supposed to be HappenStance Press' last major publication, though Nell left the door ajar in case something special came up. Well, it did, in the shape of Richard Meier's new book, After the Miracle, out now and born from a huge sense of vital urgency.
In these poems, apparently simple words portray a maelstrom of life events. They provide a lesson in how to meet intense experience head-on, and turn it into art.
I can't ethically review Richard's book, due to the fact we're now stablemates, but I very much recommend it to you. You can get hold of a copy via the HappenStance webshop (see here). It won't disappoint.
RIP Tony Harrison, 1937–2025. Except of course that I don’t want him to be
resting in peace, I want him to be carrying on doing his awkward,
troublesome,...
