Moving through poetic sequences that engage with ancient seas, mythic landscapes, familial remnants, and political ghosts, the collection blends lyric intensity with philosophical inquiry. The language is both meditative and hallucinatory, attentive to loss and transformation, drawing from Chinese, European, and diasporic perspectives. Formally varied and richly textured, it constructs a poetics of distance-temporal, spatial, and emotional-while constantly gesturing toward connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMeier:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Meier currently resides in London.
