 In 2006, a group of poets from the high seas and tidewater flats joined their cowboy counterparts at the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering in a cross-occupational exchange of verse, to the delight of the Elko audiences.

Length: 9:57 ~ Listen or podcast from iTunes.

Featured here are commercial fishermen Jon Broderick with "Kelly Keeps Fishing," and Dave Densmore with "At Last."
