A. KATHY MOSS
Putting heart and soul in words of rhythm and rhyme A. K. Moss is a noted
performer around the western states. Kathy’s poetry has been published in
North American Hunter, The Big Roundup, Cowgirl Poetry, and various other
publications. She began performing her work in the summer of 1998 which has
led her to work with some top performers. Along the way she has published
limited editions of cowboy poetry books, and audio .
Making her home in Grant County Oregon with her husband of eighteen years,
Kathy writes of the people around her that influence a way of living that
other folks think is gone. Starting a few colts, helping kids learn how to
ride and handle horses and helping friends work cattle and horses keep her
busy when not on stage.
Expanding her poetry to a new area of outdoor life, Kathy is in the process
of completing a new CD called Of Elk and Men, bringing to life the true
values of the hunt and the thrill of elk up close. It will bring the
imagination alive with special effects to any who listen to the words.
Her passion for Western history has brought her to study and write poems
from the diaries of the Oregon Trail, which she performs at the Oregon Tail
Interpretive Center in Baker City. Her photographs she has taken preserve
western lifestyles of today had found a spot in the Folk life Center Museum
at Elko, Nevada in 2001. Not one to sit idle for any length of time Kathy
has coordinated a cowboy gathering held in Baker City Oregon each September,
called the Elkhorn Western Arts Gathering where over 20 cowboy poets and
singers, along with craftsmen and artists gather for a weekend to show off
their wares and preserve our western heritage.
