<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Studying the gravitational pull of the meanings people assign objects, rather than shifting subject or focus from poem to poem, this collection of prose poems demonstrates a clever construction and inclusive thought process. Versus merely mapping the human experience, as is the case with many other poetry collections, the landscape of these poems is multidimensional and twists in unexpected ways. The poet was partially inspired by Charles Baudelaire's <I>Petits poèmes en prose</I> and Francis Ponge’s <I>La Fabrique du pré</I>, Meier’s poems take up their explorations of poetry as more than the individual line.
