The first definitive collected edition of American poet Edward Dorn s writings, this irrepressibly offbeat volume marries the old West with American counterculture. As it celebrates Dorn s epic poem "Gunslinger, "this collection which is both wonderfully resourceful in tone and idiom puts Edward Dorn on an equal footing with his masters."
Edward Dorn is the author of numerous poetry collections, including the posthumous"Chemo Sabe" and "Way More West." He was also a professor at several universities, including Essex University and the University of Colorado. JenniferDunbar Dornis the author of"Galactic Runaway "and isaformer coeditor ofthe"Rolling Stock" newspaper. She lives in Denver, Colorado."
'Ever since I was arrested for stealing a copy of Gunslinger I have paid very close attention to Edward Dorn's poetry... As a political satirist you can't bypass him, you have to go through him. His humour hooks in and hauls the laugh out of you. His long acquaintance with Britain has helped shape some of the best poets who served their apprenticeships in the 1960s. Culturally speaking the Old Country owes him a great debt... Any publication by Dorn is an exciting event...' - Tom Pickard
