The cowboy
poetry class I have been asked to teach for the University of Utah’s Lifelong
Learning/Division of Continuing Education is creeping up—quickly. Our first
session will be Wednesday, March 25, and the class continues each Wednesday
through April 29 at the U’s Sandy campus.
I, for one,
am looking forward to some excitement with syllables, fun with phrases, and
fine times with rhymes.
I don’t know
how enrollment is going, but I did hear tell of an inquiry from Indiana wondering
if the course was available online.
The big news
about the class is that phenomenal singer, songwriter, and poet Brenn Hill has
agreed to visit as a guest lecturer April 9 and talk about his approach to
writing poems and songs and how the two intertwine.
It’s not
often that cowboy poetry is taken seriously enough and given sufficient respect
that a university offers a class about it. I hope the cowboy community will
repay that respect by showing up. It’ll be a good time.
