Yee-haw! Meet us at the Ace Stillwater Civic Center for a Friends of the Library lunch fundraiser at 11:30 am and cowboy poetry at 12:15 pm. Check back for updated participating poets!
Cowboy poetry is rooted in the oral tradition of telling stories in the American west about ranch life and cowboy lifestyle that evolved into a distinct form of verse. It often follows a traditional rhyming and meter, but modern poets may utilize free form poetry but emphasize storytelling and rhythm. Cowboy poetry often includes themes of nature, western experiences, humor and spirituality.
