New Jack Phillips Lowe Chapbook Available Now!

To any & all who may be interested:

I have a new poetry chapbook now available. Published by Middle Island Press, Cold Case Cowboys is a 43-page collection of narrative poems on the challenges and rewards of this life & the afterlife, sandwiched between full-color covers. Here, knee-slappers abound, coupled with the confoundedest cast of rascals you'll ever see in one place: Jim Morrison, John Lennon, the Bearded Lady Bandit, Gram Parsons' mystery girl, Lee Van Cleef & Bigfoot---and that's just a start.

Want to join the fun? $7.00 and a trip to Middle Island Press will get you there. Thank you for your interest in my work.

And very special thanks to genius editor Christina Anne Taylor of Middle Island Press for making it all happen.
