Cowboy poetry is rhymed, metered verse that reflects an intimate knowledge of the western North American cattle culture. Experience the feelings, observations, and traditions of the culture as Terry Nash recites cowboy poetry at the library. This event is free, open to the public, and presented in conjunction with the Grand Valley Historical Society. It is part of the Garfield County Libraries' 80th Anniversary celebration.

Raised on a farm/ranch cow/calf operation on the High Plains of Colorado, Terry Nash's lifetime career of workin' to pay for his cow habit caused him to drift to a small ranch near Loma, Colorado.  He and his wife have cut back to a semi-retired forty hours a week that keeps their horses and cattle in feed. The ship Nash has been waitin' on has come into view on the horizon, lookin' suspiciously like a rowboat takin' on water. Never passin' up a chance to say something, Terry performs his poetry and classics for gatherings and wherever folks'll listen.
