We've indexed the books listed below to help readers find poetry by their favorite Cowboy Poets.  Along with current popular Cowboy Poetry anthologies, there are many out-of-print and hard-to-find anthologies, and we hope to include more books in this index, which will be added to continually. Below you'll find the list of all books (and sometimes recordings) indexed and a comprehensive poet index with poem titles. There are links to the individual indexes for each book on separate pages that include poets' names and poem titles. We're starting to index periodicals as well, and will eventually incorporate those indexes in the index below.  Currently, each periodical has its own page: Dry Crik Review, Boots, and From Texas to Montana. Our thanks to poet Gene O'Quinn for helping with this project with his indexing of so many of the books and publications.   List of Books Indexed Poets and Poems Index   Anonymous When at the sign: Anthology I climbed aboard the lyric bus, The poems that appeal to me Are often by Anonymous. Behold amid the classic crew Is one of whom Fame made no fuss, A rhyming rascal no one knew,--Anonymous. My name's a dud: 'mid poets I'm A leek among asparagus; Yet let me make a lilt of rhyme And publish it anonymous; Sweet, simple, short, a snatch of song Anthologists might prize, and thus My lyric life I might prolong,--Anonymous. So when senile and all forgot My memory is minimus, In some anthology new-bought I'll read a rhyme anonymous: A saucy air that pleaseth me, And I will say: "Who is this cuss?" And wonder: "Are you he or she,--Anonymous?" by Robert Service (Thanks to Gene O'Quinn for leading us to this poem and to The Original Home Page of Robert Service for their kind permission to post it.) As we add to this index, we welcome your suggestions for books to include, and your own compilations of such indexes from other books.  Please email us with your comments. On separate pages, we have: a list of hcowoby poetry and western music reference books some book reviews   a Reader's Choice feature of favorite Western books new books and recordings in our News and gathered each year
