Nerve Cowboy is a biannual journal of poems and short fiction sensitive enough to make the hardest hard-ass cry, funny enough to make the most hopeless brooder laugh, and disturbing enough to make us all glad we're not the author of the piece. To order subscriptions ($25 for 4 issues), single issues ($7) or poetry chapbooks from the cowboy, please go to our website:

I have recently visited five local bookstores, and almost every poetry book on the shelf is by a writer who is no longer alive. Am I the only one who thinks this is crazy?

Last I checked, there are still some pretty damn good poets who still breathing!!!

Winter is here! And so is the latest Nerve Cowboy anthology which features incredible poets, writers, and artists published in the magazine over the 2004-2012 period.

Nerve Cowboy SXSW 2023 Festival Delayed Parting Observation #2:

Jon Dee Graham’s Saturday afternoon set at Mojo Nixon’s party at the Continental Club was just remarkable as he hammered through a brilliant set with his son William Harries Graham joining him on stage. Jon Dee’s on stage storytelling skills are second to none - listen to Laredo (a small dark something)!

It turned out to be one of my favorite shows of the week. Word has it that Jon Dee may have a new record coming out in November. I know it is gonna be great!

Nerve Cowboy Magazine 2023 Festival Parting Thought Number 1:

The Women That Rock day party at Cheer Up Charlies was amazing with Charlotte Rose Benjamin (who writes the most clever, snarky relationship songs with great pop hooks one after another) stealing the show. If Liz Phair, Kim Deal, and Stephen Malkmus had a baby, that girl would sound like CRB. Check out her Dreamtina record!!

Katie Toupin, formerly of the band Houndmouth that she does not refer to by name, also played a great set of songs she wrote with Houndmouth and her solo work. Sedona and Astronaut were standouts from her set.
