Alongside the album, his first book of poetry and prose under the same title was published, including the lyrics to the sixteen songs on the record. Now, on the 20th anniversary year of \u003ci\u003eCoke Machine Glow\u003c\/i\u003e, fans have more to delight in: an audiobook of \u003ci\u003eCoke Machine Glow\u003c\/i\u003e and a brand new album by Downie, released posthumously. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003ci\u003eCoke Machine Glow\u003c\/i\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Layered and deceptively simple, imbued with Downie's wit, insight, anger, compassion and rock'n'roll edge, \u003ci\u003eCoke Machine Glow\u003c\/i\u003e is a remarkable debut from a remarkable creator.","brand":"Vintage Canada","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213818196223,"sku":"9780676974010","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780676974010_s600x595.jpg?v=1779817870","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780676974010","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
