Poetic Obituaries: But [Bill] Cowee quickly established himself

as a brilliant poet, founding the Ash Canyon Poets with John Garmon in 1987 and later getting a collection of his poetry, "Bones Set Against the Drift" published by Black Rock Press in 1997.

"Bill's volume did leave a mark--the poems rang true to this landscape and the people who make the Great Basin home," said fellow poet and friend Shawn T. Griffin. "He articulated a clear vision of the West . . . and he did it with careful attention to detail, to sound, to imagery."
