About this Event
Andy Wilkinson is a native of the Llano Estacado, the flattest land on Earth. He is a prolific creative, across an impressive variety of expressions. He worked with Texas Tech University, serving as Artist in Residence at the Southwest Collection, as an instructor in songwriting in the school of music, and a teacher of creative process in the Honors College. Now retired from regular duties at the university, he continues to teach, and to create, humbly describing his work as 'fashionably obscure'! We are pleased to launch Andy's newest book, The Dying Cowboys Club, featuring artwork by Amanda Sneed.
"Two pistoleros facing off in the street outside a saloon draw and fire, the
shots blinding one, crippling the other. Enemies for an instant, now bound
together forever, the gimp perched on the blind man's back directing the
draw and aim, two half-hombres making one whole gunslinger. They figure
in the beginnings of The Dying Cowboys' Club, the mystical secret society
formed to address an eternal human question: how do we eliminate the evil
amongst us without becoming evil ourselves? This novel - written in sonnets
- is offered not in recommendation of The Dying Cowboys' Club - though
there is much to recommend them - but in salute."
