“A Cowboy Spirit” by Stuart Hooker
I had the privilege of visiting with Stuart Hooker, Cowboy Poet, from up the road. From me anyway. He was born in Silver City, NM and raised on a ranch at Bear Creek, just northwest of there. So…we’re almost neighbors. Stuart started writing poetry years ago but just recently published his first book. Stuart has written poems about a variety of things that happen in a cowboy’s life. There will be something there that jumps out and gets you. I think my favorite is “All My Cowboys Were Girls.” But the one that brought back the most memories is “Bringin’ In A Dogie,” I can just picture my daddy on Sonny with a dogie calf across the saddle in front of him. He was such a good horse. I’m sure your memories will be different than mine…but you’ll find a poem that strikes home. These poems are about the real deal.
