Cowboys and poetry? Every year in Nevada, these two seemingly incongruous things come together. The poets recount their unique way of life, their connection to nature and their identity. In their everyday lives they grapple with environmental threats and you can sense a political rift. Songs and poems glide over impressive images. A documentary western about a lyrical cowboy lifestyle. Maren Willkomm
