Through his poetry and photographs, Mike Logan conveys what Yellowstone Is...--both to himself and to many others who so love our first National Park. In it, Logan leads the first-time visitor to sights that otherwise may have remained unseen, carries long-time visitors back to well remembered vistas and scenes, and introduces his Yellowstone to those who may never have the opportunity to view it for themselves but nevertheless, feel its far-off siren song.

Mike Logan loves everything about Montana. During his first year in the state, he fished over two hundred days. During the next twenty, he spent at least that many days afield each year: fishing, photographing, and hunting the marvelous big-skied state. In Montana Is...Mike shares through words and photographs, the way he sees the state-with all the love, admiration, and wonder of an adopted son.

Laugh Kills Lonesome is the follow-up to Mike Logan's first book of cowboy poetry, Bronc to Breakfast, and it's no accident that both share titles with legendary works of western art from the great Charlie Russell. Like Charlie, Logan finds his inspiration in the cattlemen of Montana and the West. His poem, Laugh Kills Lonesome , is a fitting tribute to the work of art and captures the spirit of Russell himself. What follows it is a collection of well-crafted, emotionally honest poems that demonstrate Mike Logan's "uncanny knack for capturing historical facts, embellished with just the right pinch of drama and/or myth, in a way that permits us, a century later, to ride through the picture, Lonesome Dove style!"

Men of the Open Range is the third book of cowboy poetry from Mike Logan, and his third book to open with a piece named after and inspired by a famed Charlie Russell painting. Like Charlie before him, Mike laments the progress that is steadily infiltrating his treasured Wild West, and many of the poems in Men of the Open Range rail against the movement to change "our high pure mountain valleys to somethin' not so different from L.A. streets and alleys." Logan applies his signature wit, warmth, and humor to create poems that are "studied, not so much in the academic sense, but in his intimate familiarity with the style, the techniques, and perhaps most importantly, the traditions of the West."

With Ranchin' Is... photographer and poet Mike Logan captures the lives of Montana's cattle ranchers in color photos illuminated by rhymed verse. Logan spent years developing strong friendships within the ranching communities of the Big Sky State, snapping intimate and revelatory shots of the people and the landscape along the way. The resulting photos and verse convey the warmth and familiarity Logan obviously feels for his subjects. His deep appreciation for the intricacies of ranch life in the West glows from the pages of this book.

Though he "doesn't follow a cow around for a living," Mike Logan has spent the majority of his life befriending and photographing those who do. Mike began composing verse to accompany these photos, thereby beginning his career as a Cowboy Poet. The poetry in Bronc to Breakfast is inspired in part by Mike Logan's ruminations on the famous Charlie Russell painting of the same title and entirely by his expansive love of the west and particular appreciation for the life of a cattleman. Mike s rhymes "smell like cookfires and coffee" and capture the cowboy spirit with a grace, humor, and realism that will leave you grinning and eager to read more!
