From crusty cowboys ("Luther Morse") to fantasy tales ("The King's Return") to the gossip at Francine's Beauty Boutique ("Chronicles of the Sisters of the Mystic Night"), PRAIRIE WIND, POEMS & STORIES is a collection of poems and stories like you've never read before. Colorful historic figures ("Emmett Dalton at Horsethief Canyon") and Christmas stories that will touch the heart with their timeless message are part of what makes PRAIRIE WIND, POEMS & STORIES an enjoyable read.
Poetry doesn't have to be dull and unexciting. Telling a story in verse can be as effective as in prose. PRAIRIE WIND, POEMS & STORIES isn't your traditional academic approach to poetry. Luther Morse is real; little Jake the burro is a cookie-eating friend, and Christmas did come in a Chevy truck.
I think you'll find PRAIRIE WIND, POEMS & STORIES worth your time. Thanks for buying it!
REVIEWS
"Prairie Wind, Poems & Stories is a refreshing & readable book of cowboy & traditional poetry & stories. Norm Rourke has called on his years of writing skills to present poems & stories about people he's known or met during his long career. Prairie Wind, Poems & Stories is more than another book of cowboy poetry, it's an author's testament to the West & the people who pioneered & live there. A unique refreshing read, I highly recommend!"
Amazon.com review.
"Take a break from your hectic life & read Prairie Wind, Poems & Stories! This refreshing collection of original poems & stories is worth your time...time you'll be glad you shared with Luther Morse, or visited the Hondo Valley, or laughed at when you read Chronicles of the Sisters of the Mystic Night. Prairie Wind, Poems & Stories is definitely not your usual book of poetry...it's more fun!" BarnesandNoble.com review.
"...this [Prairie Wind, Poems & Stories] is a must-have introduction to an area writer that I suspect will be garnering acclaim and awards outside of Oklahoma, as well as from his neighbors..." Mike Nobles, Tulsa World book reviewer
"Although Rourke might not be the typical cowboy poet, ranching and his western lifestyle anchor Prairie Wind and keep it on course..." Western Horseman
