Cowboy Poets

This documentary showcases the poetry of American cowboys, a tradition that has persisted for over a century. It contrasts the rugged image of Western heroes with a more nuanced artistic expression that captures their experiences and landscapes.

Cowboy Poets takes viewers through the expansive skies of Nevada, Montana, and Arizona, introducing three notable cowboy poets: Waddie Mitchell, Slim Kite, and Wally McRae. Through their verses, the film paints a picture of the cowboy lifestyle and the deep emotional ties these individuals hold to their land and craft.

For collectors, Cowboy Poets is available on VHS, making it a unique find in the realm of documentary filmmaking. The film not only documents a lesser-known aspect of cowboy culture but also preserves a vital storytelling tradition that continues to resonate today.
