In his first poetry book, A Sweet Place to Play, Author Bob Frost compiled his collection of work from over thirty years. Cowboy Poems about the Old West and New is a collection of original poems the author wrote as he explored the west and rode with the Verde Vaqueros of Scottsdale, AZ. Bob tries to imagine what it must have been like in the old west. He wondered what they thought about and what humorous events might have taken place. Some of the poems are simple stories with a surprise humorous ending, while others take on a more serious pondering. In Chapter three he shares a different style in some of the poetry; some are more descriptive, others, metaphorical and even mystic. Living in Scottsdale, Arizona for almost forty years has given the author close ties and interest in the old west as well as experience in the new. In addition to being a poet, he is an auctioneer, enjoys golf, fishing and music.

In Cowboy Poetry: The Reunion we lift our lariats and salute twenty years of poetry sharing at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. Reflective and rascally, tough and fresh, clever and insightful, this book holds the history, the heritage, and the future of the vibrant voices of the West. This anthology comprises some of the best of traditional cowboy poetry predating the present cowboy poetry revival, as well as work created since 1985. It is a great retrospective, giving us a sense of where we have been and where we are going, as well as a fitting tribute to the men and women whose words reflect an authentic American West. Virginia Bennett is the editor of Cowgirl Poetry, also published by Gibbs Smith, Publisher.

In this provocative and thoughtful anthology, many voices join in illuminating the remarkably vast and varied American West. The verse collected here ranges from American Indian tribal poems to old folk songs like “The Streets of Laredo,” from country-western lyrics to the work of such foreign poets as Bertolt Brecht and Zbigniew Herbert. Here is the West in all its rich variety–the harsh life of farms and ranches; man’s destructive invasion into forest and desert solitudes; the bars and bistros of San Francisco and Hollywood; Pacific surf and endless highways; the ghost towns, the poverty, and the legendary world of cowpunchers and gunslingers. From Robert Frost’s “Once by the Pacific” to Charles Bukowski’s “Vegas,” from Fred Koller’s “Lone Star State of Mind” to Thom Gunn’s “San Francisco Streets”–the West is evoked in all its incarnations, both actual and mythic.
