Texas Extra: Our favorite Typewriter Rodeo poems

Texas Extras are special and extended content put together just for our podcast listeners!

Texas Standard recently revealed our Top 10 list from April: the Top 10 Typewriter Rodeo poems from the past decade. Each poem is pretty short, usually just about a minute long, but we still didn’t have time to play them in their entirety in our on-air Top 10 – which just felt like a shame. We remedy that for you here, enjoy!
