About this title

Synopsis

Former bareback rider and now full-time poet Paul Zarzyski has collected some of his best-known poems from the last 25 years and matched them with Barbara Van Cleve's photographs of rodeo and ranching to create a powerful and memorable volume. As Teresa Jordan writes in the book's foreword, "Poems and broncs are crucibles where a lifetime of yearning and passion distill into something pure. Eight seconds or twenty lines: The great rides, like the great poems, take a lifetime to create and are both ephemeral and lasting."

About the Author

Montanan Paul Zarzyski is a former bareback rider. He now writes full time and has performed his work at the Library of Congress, Festival Hall in London, and numerous other grand venues. His six books and chapbooks include The Make-Up of Ice and I Am Not a Cowboy.
