About Cowboy9

and the Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering

Cowboy9 is one way the Lone Star Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Alpine, Texas can reach out to possible attendees. Our main URL (lonestarcowboypoetry.com) is quite long, even for a billboard.

Cowboy poetry is a living art form as well as a tie to our past. The Gathering exists to remember, recite, sing, record, publish, illustrate, film, portray, broadcast, market, and honor narratives of the cowboy way told in poetry, song, stories, and art by those who have lived that life to those who enjoy and learn from it every day.

We inform, engage, and mobilize all ages to take actions, raise funds, and participate in events, media, and curricula that celebrate, communicate, and promote the cowboy way of life everywhere.

We are a 501(c)(3), and all contributions are tax-deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
