Like most of my writing, many of the selections in PRAIRIE WIND, POEMS & STORIES are based on real people, places and situations. The West—its people and places—is featured in this collection. There are also other themes: personal experiences, wildlife and humor (especially found in the collection titled “Chronicles of the Sisters of the Mystic Night.”!)
"Norm Rourke writes from the heart in PRAIRIE
WIND, he has captured the rhythm of the prairie
and the pulse of its people. Nature's ways and
men's dreams hover in the verses. A warm and
wonderful book!" Jim Reed, author.
"When Norm Rourke writes poetry about the West,
his words are poignant and lyrical. His true
love for the great American West shines through
in all that he writes...His poetry is uplifting---
a joy to read." M. J. Van Deventer, National Cowboy
& Western Heritage Museum.
I’ve performed at the National Cowboy Symposium in Lubbock, TX (2005) and participate in the annual Echoes of the Trail Cowboy Poetry Gathering and Celebration of the West in Fort Scott, KS. I’ve also presented my poems at the Western Oklahoma Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Closer to home, I perform at various cowboy trade day gatherings.
My other books include WAR COMES TO ALASKA (ISBN 1-57249-028-4) and I SAW THE ELEPHANT (ISBN 0-942597-85-0 currently out of print). I’ve also written for national magazines and business publications. You’ll find more of my cowboy poetry on these sites: www.cowboypoetry.com and www.readthewest.com. Links for these sites are listed below.
I'm available for bookings.
I'm also a freelance writer and offer professional editing and communications consulting services for creative writers and business communicators.Contact me for more informtion.
