Summary:

The Land, the people and animals that inhabit that land, and the interconnections of the three -- those are the things that Laurie Buyer is passionate about, in her life and in her poetry.

Buyer successfully moves back and forth between cowboy poetry performances and academic/literary recognition. She's been a featured poet at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada, and frequently reads her work on public radio and at chautauquas and gatherings across the West.
