Nona Kelley Carver - Cowboy Poet

Nona was born Nona Kelley Grubbs in Colorado. Following an injury in 1994 that required her to lie flat for six weeks, Nona began to write poetry. She truly believes it was a gift from God to help her through the difficult time. She was in too much pain to sleep, and unable to do anything else, so asked for a pencil and some paper. Her health has been restored, but she continues to write.
Nona writes from many years of farm and ranch experience. Much of her poetry is drawn from her memories of various people who have crossed her path and enriched her life. The Tarnish on the Golden Years was published in 1994. It is poetry covering the subject of Retirement, Wrinkles, and Rotten Memory. Cowboys, Cookstoves and Catastrophies is Nona's second book. Her third book is entitled Carver Country Cowboys. Nona said that the aim of Cowboy Poetry is to keep the memory of the Old West alive. Nona's work has been published in magazines, anthologies and newspapers.
