The heart and soul of the West is seen through the eyes of its women - cowgirl poets writing about jinglin' the horses home, haymakin' time, cowboy courtin', livin' free, and July thunderstorms, among other things close to a cowgirl's heart. And, of course, there are plenty of poignant observations on life and men.
EditorVirginia Bennett has rounded up classic poems that reflect the spirit of those who have gone before, while contemporary poems show that cowgirls are still ridin' tall in the saddle.
