A generous, career-wide collection, Lowe's 'Flashbulb Danger' is as close as a poetry collection will come to a congenial, articulate, funny drunk friend in a bar regaling you with tall stories and unfortunate personal anecdotes.
Divided into three sections, by chronology, it moves from early earnestness to bittersweet later-life reflections, but retains throughout a consistent, unaffected voice.
(Nice minimalist cover by Hannah Proffitt-Allee, too, which Goodreads does not yet have in its database.)
