Every other le rhym. That’s why they’re lled poems. The fact that the rhythm of his new dty mimics the clip-clop of a weary horse is ght wh signifince.”</p><p>A poet the sagebsh; a mystery up to his kne enigma: It’s hard to image a more romantic Amerin ial. That’s why is wh anguish felt ep my gizzard that I mt warn you that 90% of all wboy poems are no different than other forms of Wtern art. They’re sentimental. Mdl. Gooey.</p><p>Not that matters. The other 10% make all worthwhile. Bis, wboy poetry per se don’t play that big a role the annual Cowboy Poetry Gatherg. What we have here is the keent long weekend this si of the Mississippi —72 hours straight (and climbg) of world-class joke-mongerg, storytellg, lie-swappg and guar-bangg. As mician Ranger Doug says, “There’s only one thg this gatherg don’t have: sleep.”</p><p>I’m here to tell you that the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg is one of the funnier events on earth and that no other event this funny is as picturque. In a world of screamg maniac edians spoutg PMS jok, wboy poets are oas of subtlety. Where else the days n you fd unrstatement, irony, honty, gentle wisdom, and ee admissn, all unr one roof?</p><p>Cowboys reta a certa Amerin value that they hi their te feelgs behd a fa of humblens and shyns. Dpe appearanc, however, they do take themselv serly. It’s hard not to when a documentary film crew mov on your ranch every other year. What other breed n rece poetry whout beg the typil sensive (read: simperg, mewlg) male of the ’80s? As one wboy poet said to another, “I know you want me to be imprsed, Jim, but I want you to know: I’ve heard ducks fart unrwater.”</p><p>Fate ma me stumble upon the first Cowboy Poetry Gatherg. It was 1985. Drivg between here and Timbtu, we stopped Elko, Nevada, solely for s excellent Basque rtrants. Lo and behold, we were smack dab the midst of hundreds of real wboys, men and women whose wboy hats and wboy boots had been beaten to thenticy by real ws. For good measure, there was a woman wearg genue Fannie Sperry Steele 1912 Ladi Buckg Bronc chaps.</p><p>By nature I am neher a wboy nor a poet nor a gatherer, but Elko’s atmosphere was rife wh straight-shootg versifiers wh a lorful outlook. This wboy, see, was ridg along (blah, blah, makg a long story short), and there he was hangg over a cliff wh one hand clgg to a bh.</p><p>“Somebody please help!” he screamed.</p><p>“Do you have fah me?” a voice said. It was God. </p><p>“Y I do, Lord. Now, save me.”</p><p>“You <em>mt</em> have fah me,” said the Lord. “Let go of the bh.”</p><p>A pse. Then the wboy hollered, “Can anybody <em>else</em> hear me?”</p><p>All right, so you had to be there.</p><p>I was, and haven’t missed the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg sce. (And y, I know that wasn’t a poem.)</p><p>I begged Wally McRae, perhaps the most darg of the current breed of wboy poets, for a py of his “Put It Back Hoedown,” a brilliant performance piece about greed, polics and the environment. (Had McRae performed anywhere other than Elko, “Put It Back Hoedown” would have been herald as a landmark: wboydom’s first rap song.) He flat refed. “It jt don’t work on paper,” he said.</p><p>The ft wboy poems rarely cut on the prted page. They mt be reced the way they are wrten, om the nogg, wh feelg. They’re like fe we. They mt breathe, pecially if they’ve been bottled up too long.</p><p>Baxter Black is the only wboy poet who n actually make a livg at . (Cowboy sger Glenn Ohrl, whom you may have heard on “A Prairie Home Compann,” also do pretty well. “One sgg will support two ws for a year,” he says.) Black is a humorist of the first orr and a dynamic speaker. His satiril “Vegetarian’s Nightmare” is the beef-grower’s answer to those who sist that plants are more servg to die than ws:</p><p><em>Then layg my hand on a radish<br/>I jerked and left a small crater.<br/>Then wh the bla of my Te Value spa<br/>I exhumed a slumberg tater.</em></p><p>Black’s poem, 12 stanzas of btal salad-prep imagery, isn’t worth prtg full bee would look silly. You need Black’s livery, a hilar f of mountg Gothic horror, orr to get the full impact.</p><p>Hal Cannon me to love wboy poetry while seekg to prerve “the oral tradn” by rerdg old-timers for the Smhsonian Instutn. Cannon dabbled wh the ia of anizg such a gatherg for 10 years. By the time the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg me to un, was set not Cheyenne or Salt Lake Cy but “ the middle of wter, the middle of nowhere.”</p><p>Cannon’s tentns uld not have been nobler. If ever a ranch has downtime, late January would be the time. It’s no secret that ranchg, tradnally a troublome occupatn at bt, has been sheer misery of late; if nothg else, the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg would give ranchers a chance to cheer one another up. Havg Elko, wh s wi open spac (the geo Ruby Mountas as well as an extraordarily well-signed nventn center), s 24-hour get loose atmosphere (this is Nevada, now) and s geographil proximy (’s ls than a day’s drive om most ranch the Wt) meant that the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg would be an event real wboys uld ll their own.</p><p>Nohels, the Eastern Seaboard prs and European filmmakers have had ltle difficulty fdg their way to Elko. If numbers are the way to measure , the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg has bee a phenomenon. Organizers figure that last year some 7,000 people showed up over the urse of the weekend. Attendance had been growg steadily, but this was the first year that tourists seemed to outnumber wboys. (The most nspicuo crters, however, were the psdo-Avedon photographers wh large format meras, phg genial but sktish wboys up agast artificial backdrops.)</p><p>For three days, om 9 A.M <em>.</em> till dner, four or five poetry/mic/film/vio/semar ssns take place simultaneoly. For three nights, a 900-seat hall is packed for a variety show. Yolg dogs, Hawaiian (!) wboys, rope-dancg <em>vaqueros — </em> uld be anyone dog anythg. One year Jerry Jeff Walker walked on, sang a uple of songs, yelped like a yote and vanished. But he didn’t get as big an ovatn as Rambl’ Jack Elltt the year before.</p><p>It’s close to midnight when the eveng shows end. And <em>that</em> only marks the begng of the all-nighter downtown Elko. The Stockmen’s hotel and so has a huge upstairs nference room normally rerved for meetgs of the Amalgamated Society of Manifold Associatns. This is where a hor of folk-mic lovers ngregate while approximately 50 guars, 18 banjos, 12 fiddl, three standup bass and a kazoo form ever-shiftg clters of impromptu bands.</p><p>Then ’s breakfast and you start all over aga.</p><p>Thankfully, the more popular poets have yet to be tossed to the natnal media’s stant-celebry grr. (Although Johnny Carson do make a pot to feature the lik of Waddie Mchell, Baxter Black and Gwen Petersen each year prr to the Gatherg.) There are que a few books on the shelv — the first wboy llectns to be published sce the 1930s — and even more self-published volum. But overall sal aren’t burng down any barns. For now, the sport remas safe.</p><p>The fifth annual Cowboy Poetry Gatherg is set for January 25-28. Wh a gold mg boom takg place, rooms Elko are already at a premium. Everythg was booked 11 months advance. I n’t thk of a wboy who r to book a room a week advance, much ls a year. Will there be a Cowboy Poetry Gatherg whout wboys? My hunch is that a good many of those rooms vanished unr the wg of an angel who will yield them to the worthy timely fashn.</p><p><em>Edor’s Note: If you want to attend the Cowboy Poetry Gatherg, Elko’s chamber of merce will send you a bundle of .</em></p><p><em></em></p><hr/><p><em></em></p><h2><strong>Colr Than a Banker’s Handshake</strong></h2><p> Jake, ’s time for a chat.<br/>I’m jt reviewg your loan.<br/>I would have e over or give you a ll<br/>But they told me you took out your phone!</p><p>Remember the d ’80?<br/>Your books were a flipp’ disgrace!<br/>I lent you enough for an addg mache<br/>But you bought a new horse s place!<br/>And the flood of ’75.<br/>You said was good for the grass.<br/>Jake’s Frog and Fish Farm;

GAY COWBOY BOOKS

Ask anyone who’s seen Brokeback Mounta (2005) to characterize the film three words, and you’re almost certa to hear some variatn of “gay wboy love-story. Detractors, largely spearhead by right-wg and relig groups, quickly and fervently emed the film’s pictn of a homosexual uple immoral, evince of an attempt to femize men, and even anti-Amerin. In many s, crics honed on the two leads ’ occupatns as wboys, challengg the existence of a “gay wboy” Amerin history.

DASHG DECEMBER IS THE GAY COWBOY CHRISTMAS ROMANCE WE NEED

” Other crics acced filmmakers of phg an “agenda” onto Amerins, wh one wrg that “Hollywood screenwrers and producers thk that ’s their duty to teach Ameri that homosexual nduct and cross-drsg are normal behavrs that should be affirmed Amerin culture. The beliefs, though objectively bafflg, beg tertg qutns: Was homosexualy ever accepted Ameri’s past? Supported by sendary sourc, I will argue that this myth is rooted homoerotic relatnships, a reflectn of historil fact.

P. Smh waed for his turn at the mike, arms akimbo and boots on the ground, he thought about the keynote addrs he’d endured the prev morng. The environmental historian Dan Flor had spoken about the market forc that drove whe settlers to oblerate the bison and other big grazers the Great Plas, the opulent safaris that rced thunrg herds to sun-bleached bon, and about the importance of rekdlg that “Amerin Serengeti” of old. Smh would have liked to argue a few pots wh the man, but he knew that the lexin of the ranch didn’t always fare well agast footnot and Ph.D.s. He uldn’t que articulate , even to himself, but he believed there was somethg to be said for the dtry that supplanted the herds of buffalo and pronghorn, somethg to be said for the here and now.</p><p class="paywall">He was thkg of the bon he knew bt when the host lled his name and waved him forward. Smh is short and th and mov quickly, directly, as if htg visible stage marks. His jeans were tight and stiff as rdboard; his boots were scuffed and his belt buckle shone, wh the floodlight throwg a crisp shadow on the Wtern mural behd him. The room was at pacy, roughly two hundred people, wh every seat filled and overflow skirtg the walls for the 11:30 <em class="small">A.M.</em> show at the Natnal Cowboy Poetry Gatherg, Elko, Nevada.</p><p class="paywall">“The keynote speaker yterday was talkg about the fossil trail. I’ve got some trag that way,” Smh said. “Of urse they were all my ttle.” Unsg, he psed jt long enough to let people tch on. “I’ve got a seri of really short poems that I want to n by you,” he ntued. “They are all set the tradn of Greek theatre. No matter how beat up the characters Greek theatre got, if they were still alive at the end, was a edy. The are tragedi. The first one is lled ‘Bone Pile Near the Creek.’ ”</p><blockquote class="BlockquoteEmbedWrapper-sc-SdiGL jPeLne paywall blockquote-embed"><div class="BlockquoteEmbedContent-RbGs gmbtPx blockquote-embed__ntent"><p>Learn a lson now om this poor old w</p><p>Whose bon are sttered here</p><p>You stretched your luck when you shorted my chuck</p><p>then kept me one more year.</p></div></blockquote><p class="paywall">He reced two more before returng to his seat, one lled “Skull on the Post,” the other “Pelvic Bone the Canyon,” each of them elicg lghs and applse om a crowd ls terted iambs and troche than a sense of place and a story they uld relate to. Later on, when the lights had dimmed, Smh would wonr jt what tak to earn a higher billg here at the Gatherg, an event he’d been performg at for years. What uld he have done better? But he wouldn’t dwell on for long; back Nebraska, he had a ranch to attend to, a fay, two hundred head of ttle. He had never tend to be a poet, anyway. “It jt sort of got away om me,” he said.</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">R. P. Smh, “Nebraska’s Homegrown Humorist and Cowboy Poet,” is my first once removed. As a kid, I lled him my uncle, but our fai never seemed to have much mon. While my siblgs and I went to the public school town, R. P. and his wife, Beth, sent their six children to a untry school closer to their ranch. We saw them mostly on holidays and at fay rnns.</p><p class="paywall">“When people hear we have six kids, they jump to the ncln this is due to relig affiliatn or a particular branch of ,” R. P. often says, onstage and off. “I try to expla ourselv by tell’ folks that we are ranchers, and we tend to be fairly productn oriented, and we don’t have a great ncept of supply and mand.” For a while, R. P. and his wife drove their kids around a ed limo—a purely pragmatic choice—and I remember them filg out of the back seat to our driveway on Christmas Eve, boots and hats and pearl-snap shirts tucked to Wrangler jeans. My dad was the lol optometrist. I n only image how we looked om their pot of view—hair spiked, wh baggy jeans and Hot Topic T-shirts. Surely we seemed as exotic to them as they sometim did to , not least when R. P. started rhymg.</p><p class="paywall">After he began makg a name for himself, my high school would sometim book R. P. for special events. Though we were never so cel as to sff at his poetry public, my brothers and I did joke among ourselv about what seemed to an pecially hillbilly ctom. We didn’t get , and we certaly didn’t try to. But, lately, I’ve grown cur. When I saw onle that R. P. had been ved to the thirty-send Natnal Cowboy Poetry Gatherg, January, I cid to go. Maybe there was more to the genre than my brothers and I had given cred for. And what the hell is wboy poetry, anyway?</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">In the early neteen-eighti, a group of wtern folklorists, armed wh a small grant om the Natnal Endowment for the Arts, set out to prerve Ameri’s wboy culture. They vised workg ranch all over the Wt, fearg that the old tradns were quickly disappearg the age of the urban wboy. “There was such a disnnect between what they were sayg and what was g out of Nashville and Hollywood wh a wboy hat on,” Hal Cannon, the foundg director of the Natnal Cowboy Poetry Gatherg and s host anizatn, the Wtern Folklife Center, told me. At the same time, ral populatn ntued to late, and young men and women, even out Wt, no longer ped for agricultural work. But the procs of terviewg the wboys, Cannon said, “we also found the highly articulate people who were poets, or who reced the old poems, and we jt said, ‘What is this about?’ ”</p><p class="paywall">Cowboy poetry was spawned on the trail driv north om Texas after the Civil War, as whands killed time around the mpfire, tellg stori to the rhythm of tradnal ballads and the popular poetry of the time: Byron, Tennyson, Longfellow. Today, is evintly impossible to attend the Gatherg whout hearg the classic Robert Service poem “<a href=">The Crematn of Sam McGee</a>” at least three tim. “Did wboy poets read Edgar Allan Poe? Sure,” the folklorist David Stanley, a former staff member of the Gatherg, wr his say “<a data-offer-url=" class="external-lk" data-event-click="{"element":"ExternalLk","outgogURL":"" href=" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">On the Trail of Cowboy Poetry</a>.” “How about Walt Whman? Maybe. T. S. Elt? Ezra Pound? Probably not—but they voured (and digted) the poets who had powerful rhythms and exactg rhym and who wrote about outdoor life, human bravery and endurance, and pannship.”</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-1 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">In 1985, after a most mpaign to intify Ameri’s wboy poets, Cannon and several others tablished the gural Cowboy Poetry Gatherg. Heedg the ncerns of their several dozen weary participants, the founrs avoid major ci and flashy rort towns and stead chose Elko, a town of about ten thoand people, at the time, and wh a century’s worth of wboy culture. Among the first group of wboy poets to attend the Gatherg was a Montana rancher named Wallace McRae. If you have heard one wboy poem, is likely McRae’s “<a href=">Rernatn</a>,” which R. P. Smh par to “Genis, the Bible.” It begs:</p><blockquote class="BlockquoteEmbedWrapper-sc-SdiGL jPeLne paywall blockquote-embed"><div class="BlockquoteEmbedContent-RbGs gmbtPx blockquote-embed__ntent"><p>"What do Rernatn mean?"</p><p>A wpoke asked his iend.</p><p>His pal replied, "It happens when</p><p>Yer life has reached s end.</p><p>They b yer hair, and warsh yer neck,</p><p>And clean yer fgernails,</p><p>And lay you a padd box</p><p>Away om life's travails."</p></div></blockquote><p class="paywall">Dcribg that first Gatherg, McRae, now a headlg act, noted that the wboys who attend realized that they had all wrten the same poem about their favore horse. In other words, they’d found their muny. “It was like a rk was popped off a bottle of really old, really good champagne,” Cannon said. “They thought they were the only on out there who did .” And when they did, “ was around a kchen table, was at the bunkhoe. In ont of a crowd, they were nervo, their kne were knockg, they weren’t performers, but there was <em>valy</em>.”</p><div class="Contaer-bkChBi byNLHx"></div><p class="paywall">In October, 2000, the Uned Stat Senate passed Rolutn 326, officially signatg the Elko event as the Natnal Cowboy Poetry Gatherg. The rolutn refers to wboy poetry as “a central form of artistry muni throughout the Wt,” and scrib the Gatherg as “a bridge between urban and ral people” and “a fom for the prentatn of art and for the discsn of cultural issu a humane and non-polil manner.” Origally tend as a one-off weekend performance, the Gatherg is now a weeklong event that gross more than half a ln dollars, wh more than fifty performers and a hundred and fifty performanc and other events. The Wtern Folklife Center sold more than ten thoand tickets this year.</p><div><div class="ConsumerMarketgUnThemedWrapper-iUTMTf jssHut nsumer-marketg-un nsumer-marketg-un--article-mid-ntent" role="prentatn" aria-hidn="te"><div class="nsumer-marketg-un__slot nsumer-marketg-un__slot--article-mid-ntent nsumer-marketg-un__slot---ntent"></div><div class="journey-un"></div></div></div><p class="paywall">The wboy poets I spoke to seemed well aware of how outsirs might view their genre, a workg knowledge of the term “doggerel” beg a necsary tool the effort to refute the charge. And some of  <em>is</em> doggerel, they adm. A lot of , even. Some of the poets at the Gatherg have lived a wboy life, McRae said, but don’t have the tools to translate . Some have the lerary chops but lack the real-life experience. “But at least if ’s a loy wboy poem you have an ia what ’s about,” he said. “Some of this morn stuff seems to me an exercise obscury. It don’t take a geni to unrstand and appreciate what is we’re talkg about.”</p><p class="paywall">Which is not to say they are entirely disengaged wh morn poetry. McRae c the former U.S. Poet Lreate Donald Hall as one of his favor. Pl Zarzyski, one of the few ee-verse wboy poets at the Gatherg, pleted an M.F.A. at the Universy of Montana, unr the poet Richard Hugo. Durg Thursday’s prime-time event, tled “99% Free Range Poetry,” the Canadian wboy poet Doris Daley weled the dience by quotg Leonard Cohen and Kenh Rexroth, who has been lled the father of the Beats. Ne wboys filled the stage, each takg turns recg poems that had fluenced their own work. One of them reced Billy Colls, another reced Robert Bly. In 1995, the Wtern Folklife Center ved the Rsian poet Yevgeny Yevthenko to the Gatherg. “We were havg lunch and he said, ‘I love your amic poets. They’re my bt iends. But is so, so … <em>prec</em>,’ ” Cannon relled, adoptg a Rsian accent. “ ‘But here is jt so val! I am a Siberian wboy!’ ”</p><p class="paywall">You won’t fd many wboy poets your favore lerary journal—for starters, they rarely subm. Their books tend to be self-published or released through ty, niche publishers for the sake of events like the Gatherg. I spent an hour surveyg their wrten work at the Gatherg’s gift shop, and, tth, a small circulatn is probably for the bt. Cowboy poetry is a performance art. The heart and soul that the bt of the poets radiate before an dience rarely transfer well to the page. McRae’s voice is ep and rough, his rhythm slow yet somehow surprisg. R. P. is the oppose, ually, liverg his l gallopg succsn, enunciatg every word, limbs stampedg, phg his dience right up to the edge before htg the climax and slowg to a trot.</p><p class="paywall">On the page, all of this is lost. Both McRae and R. P. have books; neher one has immediate plans to publish aga. They don’t sell anyway, McRae said. “I thk wboy poetry is tryg to dispel the feelg Owen Wister gave ‘The Virgian,’ where we’re all semi-stupid and the only thg we n fd to say is ‘yep’ and ‘nope’ and ‘y, ma’am,’ ” he told me. “If you’re recg, pecially if you’ve got the lights on and a microphone and an dience ont of you, requir you to step away om the ‘Virgian’ image and bee a performer.”</p><p class="has-dropp has-dropp__lead-standard-headg paywall">I spent three days trailg my first once removed at the Gatherg, snakg my way through handlebar mtach and hearty handshak. When R. P. wasn’t onstage, I attend recals by McRae and Daley, Zarzyski and Elizabeth Ebert, Waddie Mchell and Vs Qulan and Slim McNght. (Some of the most popular wboy poets are women; Ebert, nety-one, om Thunr Hawk, South Dakota, is R. P.’s favore poet.) In some ways, was what I expected: a crowd of primarily olr whe men and their wiv, drsed their wtern Sunday bt, talkg weather and ttle and market pric. Henry Real Bird, a fan favore, who grew up on the Crow Indian Rervatn, Montana, was the only Native Amerin poet at this year’s event, though several Native Amerin and First Natns micians performed.</p><p class="paywall">At the end of my first day, I sneaked late to a show lled “Life of the Cowboy.” Four men sat behd the podium, one of them a h-faced poet and bullfighter om Donahue, Iowa, named Dean Marten. The recipient of a scholarship for young poets, he had stepped on a plane for the first time his life to be there. His first poem was curt and funny, a h wh the dience, who likely didn’t e to see him. But durg his send act Marten stumbled on a le, and then he stumbled aga, and then he oze. Several hundred people stared back at him om their seats, wag for him to start aga. He stared at his boots. He squted the lights. He lowered the microphone and shook his head, the room seemg much bigger than had jt moments before.</p><div data-attr-viewport-monor="le-recirc" class="le-recirc-wrapper le-recirc-observer-target-2 viewport-monor-anchor"></div><p class="paywall">When the silence grew too heavy, I lay down my mera and snned the crowd. Everyone was sg, exced for the next le, whenever returned to him. Nobody wced or retreated to a smartphone. Later the week, R. P. said, “I n’t tell you how many tim I’ve msed one up and people have said, ‘Man, that was the bt thg you did, bee we know you’re human. We know you don’t jt have some puter there clickg away.’ ” Eventually, Waddie Mchell, a wboy who has been performg here sce the begng, waved his hand and said kdly, “Jt start aga.” It worked. Marten cised through his send attempt whout a hiccup, garnerg extra applse for the effort.</p><p class="paywall">“People ask where the Wt begs. I say the Wt is everywhere,” Gail Steiger, a mician and filmmaker who has been attendg the Gatherg sce 1988, told me. “You n ll wboy poetry. You n put a wboy hat on . You n put a sombrero on . You n put a beret on ,” he said. But, for him, a ncern for the Wt and s history is “what is at the root of this dialogue. It’s the awarens of a changg way of life om both sis. It’s the ncern about s loss, om the people who are livg , and ’s the people who have already moved beyond . They’re missg somethg where they are, and they’re thkg, ‘Wa a mute.
