ERB's Favourite Poet
Henry Herbert Knibbs
The western poetry of Henry Herbert Knibbs serves as a wonderful inspiration for all young aspiring poets. It also gives each of us in this genus, the challenge of a high standard to reach for.
---Dolan Ellis, Arizona Folklore Preserve, Hereford, Arizona


 Knibbs' sensitivity is impressive and inspirational. His imagery makes me feel like I am standing "Where the Ponies Come to Drink." I feel the wrath of "Maw", I ride with "The Bigelow Boys"  and I can smell the rain in "Rainmaker."

— Red Steagall, Western Entertainer, Fort Worth, Texas
BREAD

Oh, my heart it is just achin'
For a little bit of bacon
A hunk of bread, a little mug of brew
by Henry Herbert Knibbs

I'm tired of seein' scenery
Just lead me to a beanery
Where there's something more than only air to chew
