Cover of Badger Clark: Poetry Ranger by Nancy Bo Flood '67 For over a hundred years, the poems of Badger Clark, South Dakota’s first poet laureate, have been celebrated at gatherings, rodeos, and many a cowboy’s final farewell.

In this illustrated biography, Nancy Bo Flood describes his poetry as “Shakespeare meets Walt Whitman during a cattle drive.”
