Here is a first-rate sampling of the best cowboy poetry being written today. The poets in this collection hail from all over the West--California, Montana, Texas and everywhere in between. Some of them have been seen on the "Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson, and all have recited their works at the granddaddy of the gatherings, the annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada., These recent works are from America's best cowboy and cowgirl poets, most of whom are regular participants in local cowboy poetry gatherings and in the Granddaddy Gathering held each January in Elko, Nevada. Included here are some of the best-known poets, such as Waddie Mitchell, Wally McRae, and more who breathe reality into the myth of the ranching life.

  • Cowboy Writing 101

    Curious about cowboy poetry and prose? Here is a fine collection to start with...good insights into Cowboy culture are to be had here and some very entertaining stories and poems. Well worth a few dollars. Many of the pieces are short and others are epic but they're mostly fun...buy it and try it.
