American Cowboy Magazine Announces the Rockin’ WR Poetry Contest
The American West and the Cowboy way of life have been a point of
inspiration for generations of writers, poets, and artists, and now,
American Cowboy magazine is asking fans to submit their Western and
Cowboy poetry. Western wordsmiths are encouraged to share their
original works of Western poetry in the Rockin’ WR Poetry Contest. Two
lucky writers will win tickets for two to the Rock’n Western Rendezvous
at The Ranch, Larimer County Fairgrounds and Event Complex in Loveland,
Colo., May 29–31. Along with tickets to the event, the two winners will
receive the opportunity to recite their winning poem live on the Cowboy
Poetry Stage. “Our fans have always shown a strong interest in
Western and Cowboy poetry,” said American Cowboy Associate Editor,
Lauren Feldman. “We’re excited to provide this opportunity for our
readers to share their poetic talents in the form of a contest.” Users have until April 30, 2015, to submit their original poems at americancowboy.com/poetrycontest. About
