little time listening in on poetry with a western flair. Marty Blocker is a working cowboy and ranch hand for a large cattle operation just north of Cody, Nebraska.

Besides writing his own award-winning poems, Marty also recites the works of past and present masters, presenting a wider range of styles and stories.
If it’s riding colts, feeding with a team, branding or just plain making a living on the ranch, Marty likes to share and promote the good, and sometimes not so good, way of life that is waning from our western folklore.
