Have you ever met a real cowboy? How about a woman who is one and a cowboy poet? Kay Nowell is nationally famous for her poems about cowboy life. She was even featured on the Johnny Carson Show. Kay was the first woman on the Livestock Judging Team at New Mexico State University. She later cowboyed for the ZR Herford Ranch in the 1980s. Being a woman cowboy and bringing it to life in poetry has been Kay’s life whether she has been on a cattle drive or not. She brings back the mystique of what it means to be a cowboy which is part of America’s Western saga. She is the 2019 recipient of the Texas Cowboy Poetry Heritage Award. When Kay isn’t working on her own ranch in Texas with her husband, she also plays fiddle, banjo, and mandolin for the No Chicken Wire Band. Tune in to hear this trailblazer talk about blazing the trails as a woman cowboy with Shelley Johnson and Kathy Tuccaro on Women Road Warriors.https://lonestarcowboypoetry.com/https://womenroadwarriors.com/ https://womenspowernetwork.net#Cowboys #CowboyPoets #CowboyPoetry #KayNowell #ShelleyMJohnson #ShelleyJohnson #KathyTuccaro #WomenRoadWarriorsoBvvz4wiCgm0rqzBkjaY
