Clark Crouch is an award winning western and cowboy poet and performing artist who values aging…the older he gets, the fewer are left around who can refute anything he says! The author of nine books and the editor of a tenth, his viewpoints and biases were shaped by the Great Depression and droughts in Nebraska where he worked as youthful cowboy in the 1930s and early 1940s, earning his own way from the time he was twelve years of age. His poetic preference is for traditional poetry with consistent meter and true rhymes such as appeared in poems written and recited by western poets in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Previews of all his books appear on books.google.com.
