About this title

From the Publisher:

A true renaissance of cowboy arts is under way, fueled by the Cowboy Poetry Movement with it burgeoning audience and astonishing book sales. Spurring this popular movement on are poets such as Paul Zarzyski. Energetic, literary, wise, and witty, he applies contemporary poetry to cowboy themes of loss and loneliness, the freedom of the open range, and the thrill of the eight-second ride. All This Way for the Short Ride combines a dozen of the best poems from Zarzyski's popular book Roughstock Sonnets (Lowell Press, 1989), with twenty new poems and thirty-five photographs by celebrated photographer Barbara Van Cleve. Winner, 1996 Wrangler Western Heritage Awards
