38th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering

Story. Pacing. Originality. Revision. Technique. Sparkle. Doris Daley makes the case that writing cowboy poetry is like a sports event (maybe even rodeo, but in this workshop, nobody gets bucked off!). Natural talent is good; natural talent plus knowledge and hard work are even better. If you write in a traditional rhymed-and-metered style, this is the workshop for you. If you write in any style, this is also the workshop for you. Doris promises a fun experience that blends the “work” of poetry (pattern, meter, figures of speech, the importance of sound, editing) with the inspirational. For all ages and all levels.
