Men of the Open Range is the third book of cowboy poetry from Mike Logan, and like the two before it, opens with a piece named after and inspired by a famed Charlie Russell painting.

Produktbeschreibung
Men of the Open Range is the third book of cowboy poetry from Mike Logan, and like the two before it, opens with a piece named after and inspired by a famed Charlie Russell painting. Like Charlie before him, Mike laments the progress that is steadily infiltrating his precious wild west, and many of the poems in Men of the Open Range rail against the movement to change "our high pure mountain valleys to somethin' not so different from L.A. streets and alleys." Logan applies his signature wit, warmth, and humor to create poems that are "studied, not so much in the academic sense, but in his intimate familiarity with the style, the techniques, and perhaps most importantly, the traditions of the West."

Autorenporträt
Veteran photographer and cowboy poet Mike Logan's lifelong interest in ranch life has spurred him to capture his observations on film and in verse. Mike grew up in Kansas but adopted Montana as his home state in 1968 and remains there today. A high school teacher for 25 years, Mike retired in 1991. A passion for trout fishing led him to a new career as a wildlife photographer; a companion career writing cowboy poetry evolved soon after. Mike's keen insight and expansive western spirit have won him national acclaim, both as a featured poet and emcee at The National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, and as a guest on John Denver's 1991 "Montana Christmas Skies" television special. Author of numerous books and recognized in 2006 as the Will Rogers Male Cowboy Poet of the Year, Mike has appeared on TV and traveled the country sharing his enthusiasm and creative interpretations of life in the West.
