BliNk

BliNk renews Cameron Lowe's exploratory mapping of local space, evident in his previous collections. Immersed in the particulars of everyday life, these poems are alert to the provisional contours of contemporary experience. BliNk is by turns playful, meditative, ironic and, perhaps unavoidably, elegiac.

Imagistic but never obvious or prosaic, Lowe's wry eye and deft use of language continually jolts, surprises and delights. BliNk is poetry as antidote to a world where "any minute now another talking head/ will start spanking out/ the numbers." — Liam Ferney

[Lowe's] poems act like small incisions in mundane realms, letting in either the light or a darkness defined variously by the sheens, hard edges, folds, reflections. Lowe's language is anything but blurred, and his poems are belief-filled, believable, and self-believing moments of clarity. — Dan Disney, Cordite Poetry Review
