Ken Blalock, from Wabamum, Alberta, bills himself as "the wandering poet." While attending the Poets and Pickers Western Heritage Roundup in 2014 he brought his "poetry producing equipment" with him. He said "I want to be able to do poetry whenever an idea moves me" so he carries his electronic notebook and printer with him. The idea of a cowboy writing poetry on the back of a paper feed sack may no longer be applicable.
The 24th annual gathering of the Montana Country Poets and Pickers will begin Friday night, April 13, and run through Sunday noon. Organizers say the event will follow its traditional schedule. The Saturday day session is open to performers wishing to try out their poetry and receive feedback from audiences. Sunday morning will be cowboy church. Daytime events will be at the Chinook Motor Inn and evening performances at the Chinook High School auditorium.
