This week on Hey Amarillo!, I sit down with local poet Seth Wieck, whose work captures the beauty, tension, and quiet power of life in the Texas Panhandle. Seth grew up on his family\u2019s farm in Umbarger \u2014 land his family worked for three generations. He shares what it meant to be shaped by that place and why he ultimately chose not to continue farming as the changing economics of agriculture reshaped life on the High Plains. For Seth, poetry isn\u2019t just art \u2014 it\u2019s preservation. It\u2019s a way to hold onto memory, to honor legacy, and to make sense of change. We talk about belonging, about the evolution of rural life, and about how words can keep a way of life alive long after it begins to shift. It\u2019s a thoughtful and deeply grounded conversation about land, identity, and the stories that define us. ","author_name":"Hey Amarillo","author_url":"http:\/\/heyamarillo.com","html":"
