Download or read book Georgia Cowboy Poets written by David Fillingim and published by Mercer University Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "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.

Book excerpt: 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.

Even then I knew she was meant for me. I want to punch that guy for touching her like that...and I just might. But my rural cowboy ways can't compete with her flashy New York City life. What do I have offer her? I don't care. If I don't steal Rachel away from that dick, I'll never have another chance. I can't lose her. Not to him. Not to New York. Not to anyone. Not again. RACHEL This weekend trip to Atlanta, Georgia for Ryan to meet my parents has been one disaster after another. And as Ryan answers yet another work email, I spy a gorgeous man intently staring at him, emerald green eyes daring me to remember him. Oh my God it's him...my first kiss...the boy I could never say no to. Jaxson Cocker. Look at him, all grown up into the type of rugged, masculine sexy that makes my lawyer boyfriend -- I hate to say it -- look like a metrosexual pussy. But I love Ryan...so why am I walking toward Jaxson like he's a magnet and I'm metal? We're no longer children. That chemistry we once had has ripened into something dangerously hot. I want him to touch me, but I shouldn't. I want him to kiss me, but I shouldn't. I want us to do all sorts of things I shouldn't... Just because Ryan and I had a huge fight doesn't mean I have the right to do this. Does it? Why is it some men have the power to make you do things you never dreamed you'd do? __________________________ The Cocker Brothers of Atlanta, Georgia, have earned their nickname -- The Cocky Brothers. Their daddy taught them to be REAL men. Their momma told them, "HOLD OUT for a different kind of woman." They have one thing in common: Sexy ARROGANCE.

Book excerpt: Author Sharon Carpenter was introduced to the cowboy poetry writing and performing style by Joel Hayes, founder of Douglas County's Poetry Writers Group located in Douglasville, Georgia. She was a performing poet with the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Annual Georgia Cowboy Gatherings. Now, she has collected her cowboy poetry into one volume. Western Cowboy Poetry: An African American Perspective is an engaging collection of poems specifically written to be delivered at cowboy poetry gatherings. These verses provide an imaginary yet entertaining perspective on what life experiences might have been like for African Americans who strived to live in the western region of the United States during both the pre- and post-civil war era. These poems offer historical and contemporary cowboy viewpoints and they are based upon research of historical contributions of African Americans. Western Cowboy Poetry consists of four sections, emphasizing the journey and contributions of African American cowboys; the work experience for these cowboys; cowboy love stories; and the perspective of African American cowhands of the time on values.

He was as elusive as them horses He was always chasin'; You think you landed him, Then you find—time, it was a wastin' ...

When his rodeo buddy, Remington, enlists him to help out at his family’s cowboy camp for the summer, Lucas seizes the opportunity. The camp’s resident physical therapist, Georgia Nathan, might hold the key to Lucas’s future in the rodeo – unless she becomes the one thing that holds him back. Georgia is drop-dead gorgeous, and the more time he spends with Georgia, the more his life on the rodeo circuit seems to lose its appeal… But single mom Georgia has had it with handsome cowboys—and Lucas is certainly easy on the eyes. After leaving her abusive husband, she wants nothing to do with men, even this sexy cowboy. But it’s hard to avoid Lucas when he’s living right on top of her, and it’s even harder to avoid how her heart speeds up when he’s near. Though she tries to put up a chilly façade, it’s getting more and more difficult when he makes her so hot and bothered. And, oh my, his kisses… Georgia is still reeling from her break up, but what if Lucas could be the one who heals her broken heart?

Book excerpt: From USA Today Bestselling and Top 10 Kindle Unlimited All-Star author, Liz Isaacson, comes a brand new Christian cowboy romance series. Stuffed with family saga, your favorite tropes - like fake dating, enemies to lovers, forbidden relationships, office romance, and unrequited crushes - you'll fall in love at the Quinn Family Ranch! A fake ad brings a cowboy to Georgia's door just in time for all the Quinn family holiday parties, so she hires Logan to be her boyfriend. Nothing can go wrong with this plan...except she might lose her heart to her newly contracted cowboy. Georgia Quinn doesn't particularly love being one of the dozens of Quinns in Quinn Valley. Her family is just so loud, you know? And she's certainly not looking forward to a holiday season full of family get-togethers when she has to do everything alone after her painful break-up months ago. When her granny mentions the holidays would be more fun with a boyfriend, Georgia seizes onto the idea and puts out an ad for someone to come fix the barn at the ranch. But what they really need to fix is her heart, and there's no one more suited for her than carpenter and cowboy Logan Locke. Logan's the quiet type, and he hasn't had a serious relationship in a long time. But he desperately needs the money, and if Georgia needs her barn finished or a date to a party, he doesn't care as long as he gets paid. Georgia and Logan pose as the perfect couple, showing her ex that she's moved on when she hasn't and his family that he can be serious about something when he never has been before. But how badly will they both crash and burn if they let their feelings become real in a relationship that is anything but?
