Description
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."
Reviews / Votes
'This monumental and superbly produced Collected Poems from Manchester's Carcanet Press should go some way to rectifying things, for it reveals the body of Dorn's lifelong work in poetry as an achievement of tremendous intelligence, scope and energy'. --Matthew Sperling, The London Magazine '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 PickardMore details
