Let’s face it, cowboy poetry isn’t the height of literary achievement. It isn’t pretentious, it doesn’t use a lot of highfalutin’ vocabulary, or high-brow concepts. And, that’s part of its charm. In the follow-up to his first book of cowboy poetry, Al Marquis tells funny stories in plain language that cowpokes and city slickers alike can appreciate. Bucked, Bruised &
Blackballed will have even the snootiest poetry lover laughing in spite of themselves. These “low-falutin,” rhymin’ and raunchy stories about the characters in Sandy Valley are perfect for the wannabe-cowboy or cowboy lover in all of us. Just the right thing to read around the campfire at your next round up.

More laughs can be found in Al Marquis’ first book Frivolous Cowboy Poetry.

Both volumes are available for $24.95.
