Cowboy Poetry Gathering<\/h2>\n

This event started 36 years ago as a place where Western ranchers and cowboys could gather to share poems about their lives working cattle.<\/p>\n

The Gathering was renamed into National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. This gathering is also known simply as \u201cElko\u201d to many. This event embraces its role as a pilgrimage destination for hundreds and thousands of ranch folk and others who love the West. They come to learn and experience art that grows from a connection to the rhythms of sky and earth.<\/p>\n
