Customer Reviews

Must read

For anyone who likes prose and offbeat, lyrical poetry, this is a must read. Coke Machine Glow is full of cute, descriptive imagery. Downie, a Canadian, includes many different types of poetry, ranging from those about love to places he's been and things he's seen. I loved it.

A Rock Star That Actually Writes Decent Poetry

Gordon Downie's book Coke Machine Glow is a comprensive look at poetry told though the mind of a successful musician who is the lead singer to the popular candian band The Tragically Hip. His poetry reflects his experiences and his ability to truly make poetic "deep" pharses. The content is excellent and the drastically different lenghts from one poem to another really adds to the enjoyment of the book. If you enjoy peotry that is more subjective and less strait forward you will enjoy this book.
