Baxter Black is a frequent NPR commentator whose syndicated column, "On the Edge of Common Sense," appears in more than a hundred newspapers. He's the author of "Hey, Cowboy, Wanna Get Lucky?," "Cactus Tracks & Cowboy Philosophy," "Horseshoes, Cowsocks & Duckfeet," and numerous volumes of poetry. He won't let himself be described as America's best-loved cowboy poet (though we sure think he is) but will agree to be referred to as the tallest, scrawniest, most left-handed one. He lives in Arizona among the catclaw and Gila monsters.
