Van Der Meer uses “Navigation,” “Exploration,” and “Connection” to divide sections in her newest poetry collection.  It gives a hint of what this gifted author plans to share in her poems.  In her poem “Finding Atlantis” she searches for her own Atlantis.  Who hasn’t dreamed of finding this mythical land?  Her poems seem intent on examining the human condition.  From the poem “The Strength of Dragons”: “I bound those dragon’s jaws apart / brought you back a vanished spring / slipped a cheap hastily bought ring / onto your finger / the night before I vanished / into execution’s lair.
