Rhyming Wranglers: Cowboy Poets of the Canadian West

0/5 ( ratings)

There is a cultural movement sweeping the Western plains like a prairie cowboy poetry. In gatherings and festivals from Fort Qu Appelle to Pincher Creek, from Maple Creek to Stony Plain , cowboy poets are chanting the praises of the ranching culture as never before. In Rhyming Wranglers, you will meet men who are double damn tough and women who are even tougher. You will find plenty to laugh about from The day Leonard taught me to chew snuff by Denis Nagel, to Neil Meili s The Old Dry Guy and the Bath . The whole spectrum of range life is the clamour and danger of a cattle stampede; the fragrant beauty of a prairie night; the unexpected loss of a loved one. And there s a lot of cowboy philosophy here too, from the no-nonsense creed of Robert Service s The Quitter to the subtler values of Sid Marty s deeply moving The Rider with Good Hands . Rhyming Wranglers includes not only poets from pioneer times, and the current stars of the cowboy poetry festival circuit, but such major outlaw poets as Sheri-D Wilson, Sid Marty, Doris Daley and Corb Lund. You will find they all speak the authentic lingo of the cowboy.
