{"product_id":"9781941813621","title":"Badger Clark : Poetry Wrangler","description":"\u003cp\u003eBadger Clark (1883-1957), South Dakota's first poet laureate, is best known for his \"A Cowboy's Prayer,\" erroneously attributed to Anonymous and a mainstay at rodeos across the United States. After spending much of his childhood in Deadwood, SD, Badger escaped a harrowing experience in Cuba and then found his vocation as a cowboy and a poet in Arizona. He had a way of expressing that smooth, rolling, clip-clop rhythm of horse and rider. Flood describes Badger's poetry as \"Shakespeare meets Walt Whitman during a cattle drive.\" Badger Clark's legacy as a bard of the American West endures. For over one hundred years, Badger Clark's poems have been sung and celebrated at poetry gatherings, rodeos, and many a cowboy's final farewell. His plain and simple verses spoke of his love for the land and a deep appreciation for a life lived close to nature. Badger Clark: Poetry Wrangler tells the story of this iconic Western writer and celebrates his enduring poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Bookmonger","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":59290698613070,"sku":"9781941813621","price":15.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0874\/5795\/6174\/files\/9781941813621.jpg?v=1774992596","url":"https:\/\/thebookmongerbearsden.co.uk\/products\/9781941813621","provider":"The Bookmonger","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
