Beowulf tells the story of the heroic Beowulf and of his battles, first with the monster Grendel, then with Grendel's avenging mother, and finally with a dragon that threatens to devastate his homeland. Through its blend of myth and history, Beowulf vividly evokes a twilight world in which men and supernatural forces live side by side.

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.
