Product Description:

This book is a composite of fact, fiction, and fantasy. Some poems are a mixture of all three. Credit for the inspiration must go to Baxter Black, to my mind the greatest of the Cowboy Poets.

In December of 2004, I had just finished re-reading one of Baxter’s books when the idea came to me to maybe write a poetic birthday card for my darling Lavenia. The idea had come, but as hard as I tried, the words did not. I then recalled an old author’s adage, “Write about what you know.”

That day I penned “Last Big Wreck”; the next day “Crossed Over”; and the next day “Mogollon Roan”. The rest, as they say, is history. And yes, she did get her birthday card.
