Encapsulating over five decades of a prolific writing career, "Another
Life: Poetry by Jeff Cowell" is the first complete and definitive
collection of Cowell's literary output. The 301 poems in this book,
composed between 1967 and 2018, comprise six past collections in their
entirety: "North Wind," "Undulating Street," "The Works," "Arrival,"
"The Last Frenchman On Hughitt Street," and "Jeff Cowell Poems." This
comprehensive anthology showcases the breadth of Cowell's unique
style; forms ranging from lyrical to free verse, themes at times
folksy, sentimental, intimate, sardonic, humorous, tragic, emotional,
intriguing, and inspiring. "Another Life: Poetry by Jeff Cowell" will
entertain and enlighten readers with insightful, poignant, poetical
observations drawn from a half-century ramble through American life.
Jeff Cowell is a writer, musician, and painter from the U.P. of
Michigan whose earliest recordings are enjoying a surge of popularity
through digital media. He continues to be productive in all three
artistic pursuits, most recently releasing his first album of new
music in over five years ("Professor Manifesto's Epiphany," 2019)
Ten road-weary tales from the wrong side of outlaw country. Jeff Cowell may have huffed the same narcotic air as Townes Van Zandt and David Allan Coe, but hunkered far from the Nashville city limits, nary a Cash or Paycheck would drunkenly slur through his tunes. Recorded in 1975, Lucky Strikes and Liquid Gold is an isolated, backwoods loner epic, top-loaded with odes to hitch-hiking and rambling the crumbling Michigan countryside of Cowell's hard-drinking youth.
