The Rabbit Sellers

Here's an audio preview of the poem "The Rabbit Sellers," which will appear in my collection Geography and Circumstance later this fall. The poem was originally published in The Dry Crik Review of Contemporary Cowboy Poetry back in 1992, and was later reproduced on cowboypoetry.com. The poem documents the boom/bust days of central Wyoming in the late 80s and early 90s. While it's not traditional cowboy poetry, I think it captures the paradoxes and dichotomies of modern Western life.
