Wally McRae began writing poetry over twenty-five years ago in an attempt to record the values, humor and plight of his occupation. He leaves no western subject uncovered. His topics range from hat etiquette and hollyhocks to ballad-like tales and cowboy nostalgia. Three previous books of his poems have been published. This wonderful collection contains over fifty of his most popular poems, including classics such as “Reincarnation” and “Give Us a Son, Ian Tyson,” along with forty new poems published here for the first time.
The CoyoteIf you get back off the interstates And away from urban trends, You”ll find a coyote doesn”t have A multitude of friendsBut I kind of like to see one, Or hear him greet the day. He”s sort of part of our old West That”s fading fast away. Though he demands his tribute I”ll let him have his due. Let him take his cut, and welcome. I guess it”s his world, too.
