Red Steagall, the “Official Cowboy Poet of Texas,” is giving a special recitation at TCU Press’s “The Western Word” at Bosque Ranch Live. The legendary singer, songwriter, and poet will be a featured guest in the TCU Press lounge at Taylor Sheridan’s Western celebration this Sat, Sep 12.
Bosque Ranch Live is the Western music and culture event held at local filmmaker Taylor Sheridan’s 600-acre ranch in the Silverado on the Brazos gated community just west of Fort Worth at Bosque Ranch Headquarters (100 Arena Run, Weatherford), which also serves as an elite equine training center, music event venue, and a primary filming location for shows like Yellowstone and 1883.
As a featured experience at the event, TCU Press is hosting “The Western Word,” an immersive Western reading lounge where guests browse books on Texas, Fort Worth, and the American West, meet the authors behind them, and take home a story of their own from noon to 6pm. Steagall will take the floor at 4pm for a featured cowboy tradition of reciting work from memory, including poetry and prose drawn from a lifetime spent honoring the American West. His recitation will be among the day’s highlights…
