Poetry has existed for centuries and is still written and enjoyed in contemporary times. Join author Sally Bates as she addresses the reasons why writing poetry is important to society.

 

Born in Prescott, Arizona, Sally Bates rarely lived outside of Yavapai County. She grew up in the company of working cowboys and their families, cherishing the lifestyle, culture, heritage and experiences. She is a singer, songwriter, novelist and best known as a poet. She was nominated female cowboy poet of the year through WMA three times in the early 1990’s and is a recipient of the Will Rogers Medallion Award.
