Cowboy's utilize many tools to help them succeed in their way of life. The round pen is often one of the most heavily used of those tools. This series of poems explores many of the author's memories of growing up on his family's ranch, which highlights the importance that the round pen has in a Cowboy's quest to be the best at his craft. The western way of life is brought out through poems that showcase family, hard work, and history. Many of the poems dive into the relationships and family ties built through a Cowboy's life, the pressure that accompanies raising and training livestock, and the daily struggles they face to get the job done. In the poems "Nursin' Home" and "Sayin' Goodbye" the author explores the emotions involved in growing older and seeing a lifetime worth of work starting to slip away. The range of emotions in this realm is also evident in "Round Pen Sand" where a young Cowboy is starting his journey. The stories, with evident personal touch, wind through a variety of topics and styles. From childhood to topics of history and family ties, the author provides meaningful and insightful poems that everyone can enjoy.
