Centres on the octagonal pool of the Waitemata Harbour. A gazing ball, an infinity pool, an endless sea, an organic compass, a contrapuntal spring, a glorious parrot, a bounded harbour the octagonal pool might reflect where weve been to, or where we are going. This is a good place to be marooned.

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.
