Vess Quinlan is an American Cowboy Poet, who is widely considered to be one of the most respected poets of his genre. Quinlan's work has been published in many books and magazines, as well as on various online poetry databases. His writing is based on his real life experiences as a rancher, and really gives his poetry a lifelike feel. ==Early life and education== Vess Quinlan was born in Eagle, Colorado on November 23, 1940, and is part of the fourth generation on both sides of his family to spend most of their lives working at raising livestock in rural Colorado. His initial interest in poetry was sparked during a year-long bout with polio as a boy in 1951. During his time confined to bed, he began reading and writing poetry of the Cowboy variety. It seems only natural that his style of choice was western, due to the fact that he had worked as a ranch chore boy and cattle hand since the age of 15, when he ran away from home. From the time Quinlan started high school, it is believed that he attended at least 9 different high schools while doing chores morning and night for ranch families. He then worked mostly as a ranch hand until he found a partner able to purchase a farm and ranch near San Acacio, Colorado. He still lives on the place, and has since 1970, but is no longer involved in the operation. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vess Quinlan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
