| Rodeos and campfires, outhouses and forty-fives, dudes and broncs, drugstore cowboys and ornery bears - this lively book of cowboy poetry focuses on these and other themes that have made the American West memorable. Whimsical illustrations by Dave Holl bring the spirit of the poetry alive. The poetry entertains, amuses, and inspires, for it represents the enduring custom of sharing the humorous, the sad, the joyous, and the philosophic outlook of these unique individuals, the cowboys who are "part human." The sixty-page brown and white book features twenty-seven different contributors from the states of Texas, Arizona, Colorado, Missouri, Oklahoma, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, and New Mexico, as well as from New Zealand and Canada. A glossary of terms and brief biographies of the poets are included showing that the poets write about the life they actually live. The book will be appeal to anyone interested in the cowboy lifestyle, the culture of the West, and poetry in general. |
