Geomantic

Composed of eighty-one nine-line poems, Meehan's extraordinary new collection is at once a free-form dance and a controlled meditation on the nature of memory, community, love, and poetry itself. Her celebration of the power of dream and of song is neither escape nor hermetic retreat but a means to navigate ""the long night’s journey into day."" A true citizen poet, Meehan begins her work in intimate feeling but is always focused on the world.
