Dick Warwick
Dick Warwick lives on the home place amid the rolling Palouse Country hills of eastern Washington, occasionally sallying forth to recite poetry and sing a song or two in such diverse places as Nevada, Arkansas, Ireland, Australia and even his home town, Oakesdale. He receives poetic inspiration from nature, pastoral and agrarian issues, changing times, animals (including the human variety), and from modern culture’s ever-expanding trove of folly, flummery and foolery. He describes himself as a “barnyard yarnbard” but does not want that to be his epitaph. He would rather be known for having planted a few trees. (photo by Jens Lund)
