Book Synopsis National Cowboy Poetry Gathering by : Western Folklife Center
Download or read book National Cowboy Poetry Gathering written by Western Folklife Center and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2014-04-01 with total page 267 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is the granddaddy of all cowboy poetry events, proclaimed by the US Senate in 2000 in recognition of its pioneering role in the preservation and revitalization of this important American tradition. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the event, this commemorative volume collects 100 poems by various cowboy poets who have appeared at the gathering over the last three decades, from Baxter Black and Wallace McRae to Georgie Sicking and Paul Zarzyski. Representing the best contemporary cowboy poetry from the first gathering to the present, the poets and poems are culled for their importance and quality with consideration for a wide range of topics that represent the richness and depth of this broad genre. In addition to poems that will make you smile, sigh, or sit up straight in your saddle, the anthology features expressive photos of the contributors, biographical and explanatory headnotes, relevant artwork from the Western Folklife Center’s extensive archives, and illuminating sidebars on various topics such as working cattle; life on the land; the relationship between cowboy poetry and song; gear, horses, or cattle mentioned in poems; and profiles and photos of important cowboy poets from earlier times. Cowboy poet extraordinare Baxter Black will provide a foreword, and Charlie Seemann, executive director of the Western Folklife Center, will write an introduction that gives context both to the event itself and to cowboy poetry in general, from the days of the trail drives in the nineteenth century to the lives of the hardworking men and women who still ranch and live on the land in the West today.

Book Synopsis Cowboy Poems About the Old West and New by : Bob Frost
Download or read book Cowboy Poems About the Old West and New written by Bob Frost and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2009-10-30 with total page 126 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his first poetry book, A Sweet Place to Play, Author Bob Frost compiled his collection of work from over thirty years. Cowboy Poems about the Old West and New is a collection of original poems the author wrote as he explored the west and rode with the Verde Vaqueros of Scottsdale, AZ. Bob tries to imagine what it must have been like in the old west. He wondered what they thought about and what humorous events might have taken place. Some of the poems are simple stories with a surprise humorous ending, while others take on a more serious pondering. In Chapter three he shares a different style in some of the poetry; some are more descriptive, others, metaphorical and even mystic. Living in Scottsdale, Arizona for almost forty years has given the author close ties and interest in the old west as well as experience in the new. In addition to being a poet, he is an auctioneer, enjoys golf, fishing and music.
Book Synopsis Cowboy Poetry Matters by : Robert McDowell
Download or read book Cowboy Poetry Matters written by Robert McDowell and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In his groundbreaking essay "Can Poetry Matter?" (reprinted here), Dana Gioia suggested that many types of poetry, assumed by some readers to be marginal art, should not so easily be deleted from mainstream American literature. Throughout the twentieth century, perhaps no important writing has been as seriously -- and mistakenly -- overlooked by the literati as Cowboy poetry. Essentially connected to the folk tale, to legend, myth, the ballad, and song, and vitally enhanced by the contemporary voices of independent ranch women, Cowboy poetry vividly connects us to our past and our fragile, threatened natural environment. The writers included here, both working horse-and-cattle people and mainstream authors, share the brand of bold expression and independent thought found only among the best literary artists. Here is not literary theory. Here is literary life. An anthology as diverse as America herself!
Book Synopsis Just Me Telling It My Way by : Clinton Swick
Download or read book Just Me Telling It My Way written by Clinton Swick and published by . This book was released on 2014-09-24 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tales in Verse from the Old West. The 50+ poems in this book are, first and foremost, stories. They just happen to rhyme as they weave campfire tales of men riding across a frontier of prairies and mountains. They tell of those riders' encounters with other men, women, children, animals, and sometimes with spirits not of this earth. Poetry, yes, but poetry in the tradition of Louis L'amour's and Zane Grey's Western novels. The man riding up to your campfire might be hoping to share your coffee or planning to leave you dead. Flash floods, grizzly bears, stampedes-even a joke that ceases to be funny can be as dangerous as a man facing you with his hand hovering near his six-gun. But these poems of the Old West also prove humor can be found in any situation, and the lone rider never knows when romance is laying in wait to ambush him. ... and the New... Cowboys didn't ride off into the sunset when the Wild West became civilized. In these poems a cowboy is a cowboy, whether he's riding a horse or a pickup truck, whether he's in the mountains of Western Montana or the hills of West Virginia where the author grew up. They tell us a cowboy is anyone who's always willing to be there for someone in need, protect those that need protecting, put in an honest day's work, enjoy a good-natured prank, honor friendship and have the sense to recognize a good woman when he finds her. In the tradition of the best cowboy poets, this collection of cowboy poems tell stories in which we can see ourselves ... at least, we hope that we do.
