description: "Most cowboy poems speak of real events and people, from bucking horses and cagey cows to old Stetson hats and long winter travels. Although they focus on the ordinary stuff of life, their truths . . . seem no less eternal than those penned by William Shakespeare. Some cowboy poems are but-a-gut funny; a few are downright dirty . . . most carry an honest, primitive power."Michael Riley, TIME Magazine
