Download or read book My Grandfather is a Cowboy written by Sharon Waller Knutson and published by Cyberwit.Net. This book was released on 2024-01-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sharon Waller Knutson's "My Grandfather is a Cowboy" is a collection of poetry you read as though you were watching a film from the old West, but without Hollywood's make believe. Knutson's poems take us deep into the heart of cowboy country: Montana, Idaho and Arizona, with wonderful lines like: "My father blows into town / with the Montana wind." and "He wore a black ten-gallon hat / and snakeskin boots and Levi's / so tight they painted his legs blue / I never saw a gun but in Texas / he said, he wore a Saturday / night special in a holster on his hip." Rose Mary Boehm, Sausade (Kelsay Books 2023) Sharon Waller Knutson's spare elegant and powerful storytelling is crafted with simplicity--common words, syntax, to create images that are complex, entertaining, and poignant, all at the same time. One example is the image of young love: "I imagine how my mother melts like the butter in the pan." It's hard to pick favorites but I go back to the title poem, "My Grandfather is a Cowboy," "Toddler Houdini" and "Smoke and Mirrors" for the stories they tell and to savor the rhythm of the words and images. Joan Leotta, Feathers on Stone (Main Street Rag 2022) In "My Grandfather Is a Cowboy," Sharon Waller Knutson lassoed me before I even got to the first poem. Still, I'd already met the strong resilient women of her family in "The Leading Ladies of My Life" and suspected the men had a hard act to follow. No need to worry though, as Knutson doesn't believe in dull storytelling. Her twists and turns, especially her surprise endings, keep readers galloping along, eager to see over the next page.

Download or read book The Cowboy written by Blake Allmendinger and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 1992 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What are the connections between cattle branding and Christian salvation, between livestock castration and square dancing, between rustling and the making of spurs and horsehair bridles in prison, between children's coloring books and cowboy poetry as it is practiced today? The Cowboy usesliterary, historical, folkloric, and pop cultural sources to document ways in which cowboys address religion, gender, economics, and literature. Arguing that cowboys are defined by the work they do, Allmendinger sets out in each chapter to investigate one form of labor (such as branding, castration,or rustling) that cowboys perform in their "work culture." He then looks at early oral poems that cowboys recited around campfires, on trail drives, at roundups, and at home in their bunkhouses, and at later poems, histories and autobiographies written by cowboys--most of which have never beforebeen studied by scholars. He discovers that these texts not only deal with work but with larger concerns, including art, morality, spirituality, and male sexuality. In addition to spotlighting little-known texts, art, and archival sources, The Cowboy examines the works of Twain, Steinbeck, Cather,Norris, Dana, McMurtry, and others, and features more than 60 historic photographs, many of which have not been published until now.

Book excerpt: There was no one else quite like Grandpa Bud, an old-time Texas cowboy who spent his life working on cattle ranches. So, when he passes away, six-year-old Jeffrey takes his death hard. But during a visit to the Bar W Ranch, he hears grandpa stories from his grandma and other relatives, and is privileged to show his five-year-old friend Maria what life is like on a ranch-passing on what he himself learned from Grandpa Bud. Grandpa Bud is an affectionate memoir meant to help children understand the concept of death. It gives parents a plausible explanation to share with their own children about death while encouraging both children and adults to remember the happy times, the shared love, and the special moments they experienced together. Descriptions about life on the ranch help explain the concept of death in a light-hearted way that will capture children's attention as they learn with Jeffrey about what happens when someone dies. Grandpa Bud is the first book for Linda Wylie BearDen, who formed Linda Wylie & Associates after moving to Carbondale, Colorado, from Austin, Texas. She and her family spent weekends and vacations at the Bar W Ranch, outside Austin. BearDen plans to write more books for young readers, their parents, and teachers looking for interesting, educational chapbooks.
