Coke Machine Glow
By Gordon Downie
Published in 2001 by Vintage Canada
Rating: 4 / 5
Description:
Coke Machine Glow is a rich, haunting collection that reveals both the public and private selves of one of Canada’s most enigmatic musicians. In poetry that is urban, gritty and political, as well as romantic, nostalgic and whimsical, Downie allows us a glimpse inside his world. With his acute and observing eye, he gives us snapshots of his life, both on the road and at home; he writes of loneliness and isolation; of longing and desire; of the present and the past; of dreams and nightmares; love lost and love of family. Ultimately, this book is about the distances that bridge and separate us.
