      <description>Celebrating National Poetry Month, Cowboy Poetry Week, and Earth Day all at once, Ranch Rhymes features Wallace McRae's brilliantly crafted and politically charged poem, "Put That Back... Hoedown." Many years ago, simultaneous holidays might have seemed odd or some kind of ironic cultural juxtaposition, but it seems we've reached a point where that now raises no eyebrows and somehow makes perfect sense. Also making perfect sense and in perfect tempo, Wallace McRae recited this original poem, and held the audience spellbound, during the 1997 National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.

      <description>Between working, performing, and recording a new collection of his poetry, Elko's own Walter "Bimbo" Cheney has been staying busy this year.

A poet, philosopher and western storyteller, Bimbo Cheney has cowboyed in Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. He began writing poetry as a means of passing the time in line camps and behind the bucking chutes at rodeos.
