Baxter Black
Since 1982, Baxter Black has been rhyming his way into the national spotlight, and now stands as the best selling cowboy poet in the known universe. He’s written 12 books (including a rodeo novel), recorded over a dozen audio and video tapes, and achieved notoriety as a syndicated columnist and radio commentator. From the Tonight Show and PBS to NPR and the NFR, Baxter’s wacko verse has been seen and heard by millions. His works are prominently displayed in both big city libraries and small town feed stores. Yet Black, who still doesn't own a television, fax machine or cellular phone, hasn't changed a thing about his subject matter or his delivery. He continues to focus on the day-to-day ups and downs of everyday people who live with livestock and work the land. Driven by a left-handed sense of humor, Black evokes laughter just by being there. "He could make a dead man sit up and laugh" - Washington Post Book World Baxter’s philosophy is simple enough - in spite of all the computerized, digitized, high-tech innovations now available to mankind, there will always be a need for someone who can “think up stuff.”
