Cowgirl Poetry edited by Virginia Bennett is without a doubt one of the best selections of poetry by real Cowgirls available anywhere. With a diverse collection of many writing styles and subjects dear to the hearts of the writers. I found "The Edge" by Debra Coppinger Hill a particularly compelling piece and her "Yellow Slicker" is destined to become a classic. The lighthearted fun of finding the right man is handled so well by Dee Strickland Johnson in "Tomboy", that all women will identify with it. Editor Virginia Bennet's "All That is Left" has such a wonderful haunting quality that carves an indelable image that will follow you for days. A good book for those who are new to Cowboy/Cowgirl Poetry, because it contains some of the best authors available today. It will inspire you to search for more works by the individual authors. Perfect size for carrying in a purse or brief case. A real bargain for the price.

A whole lot of talent in one little book. Awesome poetry that speaks to the cowgirl heart.

Fans of poetry and cowgirls will find Cowgirl Poetry a lively collection of cowgirl poets who write about life on the range and the work of the ranch. From funny quips and long humorous poems to serious observations of the struggles of ranch life, Cowgirl Poetry is a fine collection.
