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 Dirty Cowboy written by Amy Timberlake and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (BYR). This book was released on 2003-08-08 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This ol’ boy needs a bath! After he finds a tumbleweed in his chaps and the numerous bugs buzzing around him affect his hearing, the cowboy decides it’s time to head to the river. Once there, he peels off all his clothes and tells his trusty old dog to guard them against strangers. He takes a refreshing bath and emerges clean as corn – but so fresh-smelling that his dog doesn’t recognize him! Negotiations over the return of the clothes prove fruitless. A wrestling match ensues in a tale that grows taller by the sentence, climaxing in a fabric-speckled dust devil. Amy Timberlake has inserted a Western twang into this tale of filth and friendship, and Adam Rex has found many creative means of bodily concealment in his expressive, comical paintings.

Download or read book Dakota Cowboy written by Ike Blasingame and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 1964-01-01 with total page 334 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "I've known about Ike Blasingame all my life, knew many of his fellow punchers, white and Indian. Ike was certainly a salty representative of the Texas bronc twister when he came North with that most romantic of cow outfits, the British-owned Matador. . . . [He] takes the reader across the treacherous Missouri River as the spring-softened ice goes out under the horses' feet, into the still wild cow towns, through the round-ups, the prairie fires. . . . There is the authentic smell and feel of the Northern cow country of fifty years ago in the story Ike Blasingame tells."-Mari Sandoz"Here is one of the most gripping Western tales since Andy Adams' The Log of a Cowboy was published in 1903. The telling is considerably like Adams'-warm, human, flavorful. The author, a one-time Matador ranch cowboy, . . . lived his story, and he tells it straight in the language of the cow country without contrivance."-New York Times"Many of the cowboys who have written about their experiences never really looked at any wider segment of the cattle business than was visible between their horses' ears, but Ike Blasingame did. He paints a big picture without omitting details."-New York Herald-Tribune

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Patrick Gale has written a book which manages to be both tender and epic, and carries the unmistakable tang of a true story. I loved it." -- Jojo Moyes A privileged elder son, and stammeringly shy, Harry Cane has followed convention at every step. Even the beginnings of an illicit, dangerous affair do little to shake the foundations of his muted existence - until the shock of discovery and the threat of arrest cost him everything. Forced to abandon his wife and child, Harry signs up for emigration to the newly colonised Canadian prairies. Remote and unforgiving, his allotted homestead in a place called Winter is a world away from the golden suburbs of turn-of-the-century Edwardian England. And yet it is here, isolated in a seemingly harsh landscape, under the threat of war, madness and an evil man of undeniable magnetism that the fight for survival will reveal in Harry an inner strength and capacity for love beyond anything he has ever known before. In this exquisite journey of self-discovery, loosely based on a real life family mystery, Patrick Gale has created an epic, intimate human drama, both brutal and breathtaking. This is a novel of secrets, sexuality and, ultimately, of great love.
