Joe Kreger

Joe Russel Kreger (born 1939) was the thirteenth poet laureate of the American state of Oklahoma, appointed in 1998 after the death of Betty Shipley.[1] Kreger was the first poet laureate of the state to be considered primarily a "cowboy poet," and the only besides Eddie Wilcoxen, who was laureate 2011-2012. Born in Tonkawa, Oklahoma, Kreger has spent most of his life as a rancher.[1][2][3]

His poems have been published as Lookin' at Life (1997, Innovative Broadcast Corp) and Still Lookin' (2000, Doane Agricultural Service).[4]

Early life

Kreger earned a bachelor's degree in animal science and a master's in agricultural education from Oklahoma State University.[5]

gollark: Apparently this last one is an unpatched bug.
