Rusted Fence and Broken Cowboys: The Musings of a Misfit - Paperback

by Kirby Jonas (Author)

From the back cover: WHERE DID HE COME FROM?On August 6, 1965, Kirby Jonas became a famous poet, only nobody knew it for another fifty-five years. (You thought we were going to try to rhyme that, didn't you?)But wait . . . This is Jonas's serious edition of poetry, so grab your bandanna and prepare to shed many tears."Kirby Jonas is the next Robert Frost and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow," said no well-known newspaper ever.We would like to say the back cover text sets the tone for Jonas's first book of poetry, but such is not the case. Although Jonas is also the author of many comical poems, this volume consists of poetry about horses, cowboys, and a world that is fast fading away. As the back cover says, although somewhat jokingly, you may shed some tears in the reading of this book of poetry. The only "comedy relief", alas, exists on this back cover.
