The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering - 12-18-2009
The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering is a week-long celebration of life in the rural West, featuring the contemporary and traditional arts that arise from lives lived caring for land and livestock. The 26th National Cowboy Poetry Gathering will take place January 23-30, 2010 in the small community of Elko, Nevada, which will overflow with thousands of cowboys and cowgirls, poets and musicians, artisans and scholars, rural people and city folks. Produced by the Western Folklife Center, the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering was started in 1985 by a small group of folklorists and poets, and has become an annual ritual for thousands of people who value and practice the artistic traditions of the region, and are concerned about the present and future of the West.
Nevada Humanities is proud to be a supporter of the Western Folklife Center and the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.
