"In this text, author and editor David Fillingim turns his attention to the West - West Georgia that is. This book examines how the contemporary cowboy poetry revival that sprung up in 1985 in Elko, Nevada, has borne fruit in the Peach State. First, Fillingim traces the history of cowboy poetry and its emergence as a cultural phenomenon. Then he recounts the story of how Georgia became home to a vibrant cowboy poetry scene. But the largest part of the book is an anthology of poems by some of the finest cowboy poets anywhere, and they all happen to be in Georgia." "As celebrated cowboy-poet Doris Daley says in the preface, "everywhere is west of somewhere". So settle in, and travel with Fillingim to someplace west of wherever you are, and enjoy this unique combination of shrewd scholarly analysis and heartwarming cowboy poetry." --Book Jacket.

The poems in this book were inspired by things Mike Booth learned along life's path and through stories that he heard from so many of the people he became friends with, and the cowboys along the way who taught him the ways of the cowboy. As you read this book, I hope you will appreciate Mike's feelings about the cowboy way and the people who aspire to it. With the reading, in some small manner, it may either take you back or maybe introduce you to the cowboy and his way of life.

The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is the granddaddy of all cowboy poetry events, proclaimed by the US Senate in 2000 in recognition of its pioneering role in the preservation and revitalization of this important American tradition. In conjunction with the 30th anniversary of the event, this commemorative volume collects 100 poems by various cowboy poets who have appeared at the gathering over the last three decades, from Baxter Black and Wallace McRae to Georgie Sicking and Paul Zarzyski. Representing the best contemporary cowboy poetry from the first gathering to the present, the poets and poems are culled for their importance and quality with consideration for a wide range of topics that represent the richness and depth of this broad genre. In addition to poems that will make you smile, sigh, or sit up straight in your saddle, the anthology features expressive photos of the contributors, biographical and explanatory headnotes, relevant artwork from the Western Folklife Center's extensive archives, and illuminating sidebars on various topics such as working cattle; life on the land; the relationship between cowboy poetry and song; gear, horses, or cattle mentioned in poems; and profiles and photos of important cowboy poets from earlier times. Cowboy poet extraordinare Baxter Black will provide a foreword, and Charlie Seemann, executive director of the Western Folklife Center, will write an introduction that gives context both to the event itself and to cowboy poetry in general, from the days of the trail drives in the nineteenth century to the lives of the hardworking men and women who still ranch and live on the land in the West today.

Broken down and battle-weary after the Civil War, nineteen year-old Bill Allen returns home to Atlanta, only to find his parents dead and the family home burned to the ground. His dreams of getting married and building a home for himself are crushed when he learns his girlfriend has eloped to Pensacola with his first cousin. After spending two years fighting Yankees, it seems he's left with nothing. Thinking back over his days as a Confederate Soldier, Bill recalls the adventurous stories his friends told around the campfires, about the Wild West. With an attitude a city block long, and a chip on his shoulder, he heads west on his horse, Buddy, with nothing but the clothes on his back, and a Navy Colt strapped around his waist. Not long into his journey, Bill encounters two horse thieves who try to steal Buddy. Two shots later he finds himself $6,000 richer, from their bank robbery loot. When Bill stops at a farm house to borrow a shovel to bury the two dead thieves, he meets Mary - at the end of a Kentucky rifle. Later that evening they are properly introduced over a supper of fried rabbit and black coffee. Not your typical western, Georgia Cowboy isn't about cattle drives or filled with cowboy jargon; Bill's four letter words are Hope, Love, and Work. However, trouble does find Bill, every step of the way, in this action-packed adventure.
