Real Country chronicles a world that is less and less known or remembered in the fast-changing, media-saturated culture of today. It is the world of the farm kid: a world of large spaces and small schools, of long bus rides and short statements, of harsh conditions and hard-earned satisfactions. These poems mean to preserve a West Texas version of that experience from a few decades ago, played out against a wide landscape with its own contentious history and its own stark beauty.
