San Luis

<p>Justin Lowe's <em>San Luis</em> is a collection of veils partly lifted or shifting in the breeze providing glimpses of things perhaps not fully apprehended of questions not answered. In poems that are wistful nostalgic remembrances heartaches Lowe probes a lifetime of the uncertainties of 'this crooked little boy / with his warped view of time / of belonging / that never go truly mended.' - David Ades</p><p><br></p><p>Such wide-ranging strange narratives told with an ear for varied subject matter and formal structures. Tightly controlled evocative and nuanced. An original and distinctive voice. Powerful and moving. In a word - brilliant. - Mark O'Flynn</p><p><br></p><p>Enter Justin Lowe's San Luis a lyric psychogeography embodying philosopher Gaston Bachelard's observation that inhabited space transcends geometrical space. From a childhood spent in Spain to a life lived within the vast Australian landscape Lowe's poems inhabit temporal spatial and imaginative realms with a keen compassionate finely crafted consciousness. These deeply human poems will find their home in you. - Michele Seminara</p>
