The Other Side

    A collection of poems about friends, neighbors, family, and the Mid-western life style in general.  The poems range from humorous to very serious.

“Rich’s poetry focuses on the things of life we can identify with—love for family, love for the land, and love of country.  Sometimes witty, sometimes touching, his poetry strikes a deep note in the reader and rings true to life.”  Judy Hayworth, The Sioux City Journal.

A Change of Pace

The second book in the series of life in the Mid-west. This book contains more poems about cattle and cattlemen. Once again, the theme of family, friends, country life, and religion are woven into the book.

“In his second book of poetry, Rich Krosch again takes us into his world of wit and humor as he savors the life experiences of the people in his community and the animals with which he works and makes his living.” Joyce Hansen, Memories and More, Omaha, NE.

Riding for the Brand

The third book is a collection of poems primarily about cattle and the cattlemen who take care of them. It was produced for the good folks at Trans Ova Genetics.

“Rich has a God-given talent. He turns words into poems, poems into wit and humor, and wit and humor into vivid life experiences. I hope you find as much enjoyment in his poems as I have.” Dr. David Faber, Trans Ova Genetics.

Take Me To Blue Earth

  Take Me To Blue Earth is a collection of short stories covering six generations of the Krosch family.  The saga starts when the family crossed the Atlantic Ocean from Germany and it continues to  modern times.  In this, his first book of short stories, Rich has again excelled in using the same humor and wit found in his poetry.  He takes us to days gone by when his family came to Blue Earth, Minnesota, and tamed the land and animals they found there.

  “Take Me To Blue Earth is an enchantingly reminiscent collection of simple, yet surprising stories.  It captures the multi-generational charm of a Minnesota family in ways most of us enjoyed hearing from our own grandparents.  From renegade muskrats to bunking with the Jessie James gang, this is a family history rich in entertainment value.”  Julie Hlas, Kingsley News Times.

Cattle Call

  Cattle Call is a collection of poems and short stories that are all written about cattle and cattlemen.  Many of the selections are new and have never been published before.  In an effort to get the best of the selection written about cattle under one cover, a few of the poems have appeared in other books.  This is a “must read” for anyone who likes livestock, particularly cattle.

“Great book—the kind that you like to sit in your favorite chair and enjoy slowly.  Rich Krosch is tremendous.  This is a wonderful and entertaining collection of stories and poetry about the ordinary life of cattlemen, ranchers, and rural vets.  If you are a real cattleman—someone who’s done breeding, calving, marketing, or showing—then you’re REALLY going to enjoy this book.  This collection will make a wonderful gift or a treasured copy for yourself.”  Mindy Trede, CEO of the Iowa Beef Expo.
