Winner of the Will Rogers Medallion Award and the Academy of Western Artists' Buck Ramsey Best Cowboy Poetry Book Award, "The Big Roundup" is an anthology of the best Classic and Contemporary poetry from CowboyPoetry.com - the world's largest collection of Cowboy Poetry - featuring over 140 American, Canadian, English and Australian poets. A "Best of the West" appendix includes Cowboy Poetry gatherings and organizations, Western publications, and Western heritage and museum sites. From its start on the range to its newest home on the internet, Cowboy Poetry celebrates three centuries as a genuine American folk form in "The Big Roundup." In his foreword, Tom Mayo, poetry reviewer for the "Dallas Morning News" says "These selections illustrate and celebrate the diverse, vibrant state of Cowboy Poetry. That they were gathered in a most modern "virtual gathering" on the Internet [CowboyPoetry.com] is proof of the enduring popularity and relevance of the genre in this new millennium." -- amazon.com
