You will taste the very dust in the air as Dick Wall brings back the old west and describes the adventures of Clay, the farm boy who ventured beyond his safety zone to experience life to the hilt. Pretend that a weather-beaten, fence-straddling old codger is telling you Clay's story as a broken reed twirls in his mouth with the telling of it. His grammar isn't perfect, but the ease with which he tells the story will put you back into the time "when states didn't matter." If there is such a thing as "manly cowboy poetry"--this is it!
