Joel Nelson is author of one of my all time favorite poems, but in this episode we uncover his writing process, his first memories, and what is was like growing up as the son to the town's Sherif.

A reflection on the small encounters that cause big feelings...

DW Groethe and Rodney Nelson give me double the "trouble" in this conversation. These two friends share their writing process and lots of laughs. Maybe TWO cowboys IS better than one.

Wallace McRae discuss the spoken word, the loudest sound, and even sing a favorite song.

We pay tribute to friend, poet, cowboy, rodeo star, artist and legend Pat Richardson. While he has left us, his poetry and humor have not.

Doris Daly is a kind of first lady of cowboy poetry. Hear her discuss the truths of living in art and nature.

I consider the connection between Poetry and revolution and we hear a politically charged poem by Rodeo Poet, Paul Zarzyski.

Paul Zarzyski describes the kind of life worthy of poetry in this second episode featuring his work.

Paul Zarzycki's wild and energetic style fills his poetry but also our conversation. Hear him describe what's harder than riding Rodeo and how he comes back to writing poetry after being away from the blank page.
