I always wanted to be a cowboy when I was a kid! This is a great collection of poems that will entertain you and make you laugh. You will definitely laugh! This collection provides a glimpse of the romanticized image of these rugged individuals. The "Spirit of the West" comes alive through the words, and the illustrations are a hoot! Great read for all of us "wannabe" cowboys! The glossary is an excellent touch. Thanks.

WOW! What a delight to receive this book as a gift and to find two of our members of Whispers of the West published in this great collection of Cowboy Poetry. Debra Coppinger Hill and Gerry "Casey" Allen are among some of the most respected Western Poets writing today. Though this was published in 1998, the works represented here are excellent and stand the test of time. Good illustratrations and a nice presentation. When can we look for the next collection to come out?

This is a nice selection of contemporary cowboy poetry, with a wide range of subjects and some very good poets. There are too few collections like this, and this is a welcome addition to any library.

If wanting to learn all about the cowboy side of life, this book offers it all. It's serious side shares the heartaches of life on the range, while the lighter side tickles your funny bone. A very enjoyable read. When's the next one due out?
