Synopsis "Poetic Images: the Great American West"
This anthology, a companion volume to Western Viewpoints, is our third eclectic collection of western and cowboy poetry. Seventeen contemporary poets provide ninety-three poems -- poetic images of our Great American West. Each poet has his or her own interests and style and, together, their work captures a holistic view of life in the west of yesterday and today. Presented in traditional form, the poems depict the west through verses which have, with few exceptions, consistent poetic meter and true rhymes as used by yesterday's cowboys. The poets featured are: Larry Bradfield, Jimmy Coleman, Cody Craddock, Clark Crouch, Neal Dachstadter, Nick David, Steve Dickson, Mark Jones, Harold Losey, Susan Matley, Deb Meyer, David Michelinie, Debbie Raney, Melissa Watkins Starr, Tom Swearingen, J. Wesley Taylor Sr., and Don Weaver.
