Big Book of Cowboy Poetry (An eBook)
Stan Paregien has been writing and performing cowboy stories and poems nearly 30 years.
His newest eBook and paperback combo is titled, Big Book of Cowboy Poetry. It is a carefully selected collection of a whopping 203 of his cowboy poems spread over 286 or so pages.
In February of 2020, he published a collection of 40 of his stories under the title, Big Book of Cowboy Stories. It is now available online as both an eBook and as an 8 X 10” paperback. Between the Cowboy Stories book and this Cowboy Poetry book, these companion volumes cover most of his cowboy-themed work since 1991. Late in 2019, he officially retired from performing.
The reader is sure to find a lot to like in this 203-poem collection. Some of them will make you sing and shout and howl at the moon. Others will relax you and get you into a reflective, thoughtful mode. Still others will make the doggone toughest ol’ cowboy or truck driver wipe tears from his or her eyes.
Neighbors, here is one major item which separates most cowboy poetry from the standard high-faluttin’ stuff: you don’t have to guess what these poems really mean. You don’t need to sit there with a dictionary at arm’s reach, nor do you have to psychoanalyze cowboy poetry.
Stan is one of the best at delivering a poem in a transparent, conversational style. Heck, you may not like a particular poem, but it won’t be because the message is unclear.
So, just sit back and enjoy this little stroll through some of the best cowboy poetry ever written. Well, shoot-fire, that’s what Cowboy Stan told us to write and we know that is pert-near the truth. Try it. You’ll like it. Then, get online and find out where a group of cowboy poets is performing near you. Go experience a genuine cowboy hoot and holler, and the next thing you know you’ll be wearing a cowboy hat. Sure ‘nuff.
