She has been featured in various events and platforms, showcasing her talent and passion for cowboy poetry.
Cowboy poetry is a form of poetry that originated from the tradition of cowboys telling stories. It is distinctive in its culturally specific subject matter and traditional use of rhyme and meter. While it often focuses on the historic cowboy lifestyle, contemporary cowboy poetry is still being created and recited. Cowboy poetry typically explores the emotional landscapes of the American West, including horses, cattle, prairie storms, and the wilderness. It is not a requirement for the writers of this genre to be cowboys, but many write from their lived experience. The poetry is often meant to be read aloud and performed, and it covers topics connected to the cowboy way of life, such as raising livestock and western U.S. landscapes.
