A Western poet whose verses echo the rhythmic clip-clop of a cattle drive. From a tumultuous childhood in Deadwood and trials abroad to the open ranges of Arizona, his plain, soulful words capture the raw spirit of the frontier and continue to resonate at rodeos and gatherings.
Badger Clark (1883–1957), South Dakota’s first poet laureate, is best known for his “A Cowboy’s Prayer,” erroneously attributed to Anonymous and a mainstay at rodeos across the United States. After spending much of his childhood in Deadwood, SD, Badger escaped a harrowing experience in Cuba and then found his vocation as a cowboy and a poet in Arizona. He had a way of expressing that smooth, rolling, clip-clop rhythm of horse and rider.
Flood describes Badger’s poetry as “Shakespeare meets Walt Whitman during a cattle drive.” Badger Clark’s legacy as a bard of the American West endures. For over one hundred years, Badger Clark’s poems have been sung and celebrated at poetry gatherings, rodeos, and many a cowboy’s final farewell. His plain and simple verses spoke of his love for the land and a deep appreciation for a life lived close to nature. Badger Clark: Poetry Wrangler tells the story of this iconic Western writer and celebrates his enduring poetry.
