The songs and poems of 2007 Texas Poet Laureate Steven Fromholz tell of a life that began with bikes and trikes and kites and trees and has progressed through fatherhood and many days and nights spent on the road. He is a poet as well worth reading as he is a singer worth hearing. Fromholz s poetry and lyrics evoke the western landscape capture memories of the past and plans for the future and plumb the depths and heights of feeling engendered by life as a touring musician. Despite a stroke which felled him for a time Fromholz still acts a whitewater guide on the Rio Grande still performs and still writes the poems that caused the State Legislature to name him Poet Laureate of Texas for 2007.
