Rod Nichols, a native Texan, has been in the forefront of the recent resurgence in 'Cowboy Poetry' and his writing style has been compared frequently to that of the great Robert Service. The first Lariat Laureate of Cowboy Poetry.com, the largest gathering of cowboy poets on the world wide web, he has earned the respect and admiration of his readers and fellow poets. This collection of his original cowboy poetry is, in a large part, a thank you for their support.
