In our restless  confused society  there is a yearning for a connection to the land; for the sound of the human voice; for simple  natural truth. Cowboy poetry  says the Portland Oregonian  \"is sort of like country music: Its straight talk  dealing with fundamentals  using images that you can touch. . . . In this beautifully presented book  Anne Heath Widmark has compiled the works of twelve Western bards who excel at the form.\"  These twelve poets  through biographical and photographic portraits and their own poems  acquaint us with a diverse tradition tied to the rhythms of land  animals  and seasons. Among the cowboy poets who make up this book  we meet Wally McRae  a third-generation rancher from Forsyth  Montana; Paul Zarzyski  a former bronc rider with a masters in literature; and Linda Hussa  a buckaroo who ranches with her husband in the \"sagebrush corner\" of northeastern California. Their poems ride free over the range of human experience.
