Review
I know Sunny Hancock and Jesse Smith in three ways. First as men, secondly as cowboys and thirdly as poets. All three demand a great deal of admiration and respect,. As you read this book, you will find that admiration and respect are not demanded, but in there truest form (as sonly sunny and Jesse could experience them) both are shared. --Leon Flick, Cowboy Poet Oregon
What a pair of aces! Two of my personal favorite poets under one tin roof. There is a lot of dun and a lot of wisdom accumulated in this book. Yes, there are horses and cow dogs and manure in this volume, but there are also threatened Brontosauruses, cowboys wearing pantyhose, cowboys riding ATVs and keen observations of decades of cow- country change. And there is advise on esoteric subjects, like how to get your wife to pull a calf in her anniversary dress. Sunny and Jesse are two of the best poets in the old style, giving us involved narratives with a chuckle or a catch in the throat in every other line. --Warren Miller, Sharlot Hall Museum Prescott, Arizona
