Laugh Kills Lonesome

Laugh Kills Lonesome is the follow-up to Mike Logan's first book of cowboy poetry, Bronc to Breakfast, and it's no accident that both share titles with legendary works of western art from the great Charlie Russell. Like Charlie, Logan finds his inspiration in the cattlemen of Montana and the West. His poem, Laugh Kills Lonesome , is a fitting tribute to the work of art and captures the spirit of Russell himself. What follows it is a collection of well-crafted, emotionally honest poems that demonstrate Mike Logan's "uncanny knack for capturing historical facts, embellished with just the right pinch of drama and/or myth, in a way that permits us, a century later, to ride through the picture, Lonesome Dove style!"
