Districts 3 & 4 welcome you--all KAC members (and guests)--to a 7:00 p.m. Zoom on Tuesday, May 9th—an Open Mic Read-Around which will feature Dr. Timothy Keane, a three-time champion in the Kansas Cowboy Poetry Contest. Dr. Keane has won multiple events at the National Cowboy Poetry Rodeo, where he was overall reserve champion in 2016 and 2018. He describes himself as a green broke cowboy poet, although he has “slipped past various judges a few times.” (Green broke: has had a saddle on, been ridden a few times, has lots of vices, needs tons of work; is liable to spook, bolt, kick, rear, crow-hop, and refuse simple situations; basically unpredictable.)
Dr. Keane is Professor Emeritus (a term possibly comparable green broke) of Landscape Architecture and Distinguished Graduate Faculty, in the College of Architecture, Planning, and Design at Kansas State University, where he served starting in 1984. He lives with his wife, Sharon, and a couple of bird dogs in northwest Wabaunsee County.
He will read poems that show a side of him both in tune with and distinct from the persona of a cowboy poet—poems that show a deep appreciation of the Flint Hills; poems that have the power to entrance with gentle rhythms and subtle rhymes; poems that will touch your heart.
