Yonderin’ Tales is a collection of poems, rhyming stories from this award-winning Cowboy Poet, that are designed to invite you into the mind set and philosophy of the working cowboy of yesteryear and today. These 160+ pages are filled with 53 poems, tales of cattlemen, rodeo  and tributes to Young ‘Uns, Dads and Grandads too. The poems in this poetry collection are accompanied by stunning, full color western paintings of salty cowboys, trusty horses, rangy cattle, working cowgirls, devoted dogs and majestic scenery done by well-known, highly-acclaimed cowboy artists whose names you will recognize if you follow cowboy art.

Call your pup to your favorite chair and get ready for a little cowboy romance. Drift off with him to a simpler time and place. In fifteen to twenty stanzas Yonder will have you pushing horns north along a cattle trail, tracking a desperado on the run, gathering buffalo chips for a cow camp or holding cattle rustlers at bay. You might recall the sting of camp smoke, the familiar smell of sweat-stained leather or the quiet of a well-used barn stall. Thick cattle dust and snorty horses come to mind. Perhaps you’ll sense the pungent odor of burning hair and hide from a hot iron luring you to revisit those childhood days when you yearned to be a cowboy.

Foreword by five-time IWMA Entertainer of the Year, Kristyn Harris.

What They’re Sayin’ :

“Goodell’s got a keen insight into Western Life and it shines through in his poems. His way with words is incredible. His words speak to American life in a remarkable manner. For a refreshing take on the Western scene with a cowboy twist, Rik delivers! ”
