Bimbo, who spent his youth riding broncs and cowboying across Nevada, is one of the original "Elko" poets. A poet, philosopher and western storyteller, Bimbo Cheney has cowboyed in Arizona, New Mexico, Idaho, Oregon and Nevada. He began writing poetry as a means of passing the time in line camps and behind the bucking chutes at rodeos. His poems tell stories of his real life experiences.  Bimbo makes his home in Spring Creek, Nevada, with his wife Jana.
