Cowboy Poetry by Betty Burlingham

Come listen to a program of Cowboy Poetry by Betty Burlingham.
Cowboy poetry is a unique and celebrated form of American poetry that emerged from the cultural experiences of ranch workers in the West.
Betty Burlingham, a molecular biologist by trade, gave it up unexpectedly for love and ranching 46 years ago, and has owned ranches in KS and NC. She's been writing and sharing poetry about her amazing and everyday experiences for 14 years, most recently on a trip to the Amazon. Betty is a two-time winner of the KS Cowboy Poetry Contest and was named 2026 Champion Cowgirl Poet at the Crossroads Gathering in Oklahoma.
This RCGS program will follow our annual business meeting and is free and open to the public.
