Gunslinger is the title of a long poem in six parts by Ed Dorn. HistoryBook I was first published in 1968, Book II in 1969, The Cycle ('Book 2 1/2')[1] in 1971, The Winterbook (Book III) in 1972, Bean News (Gunslinger's 'secret book')[2] in 1972, and 'Book IIII' as part of the complete Slinger[3] (minus Bean News) in 1975. Gunslinger[4] is Dorn's best-known work, and widely considered his most important. SummaryThe gunslinger is a long form political poem about a demigod cowboy, a saloon madam, and a talking horse named Claude Levi-Strauss, who travel the Southwest in search of Howard Hughes.[5] The conversation stream of the poem is constantly interrupted.[6] Dorn mixes the jargon of drug addicts, Westerners, and others to reflect the jumble of American speech. He seems to intentionally frustrate the reader; syntax is ambiguous, punctuation is sparse, and puns, homonyms, and nonsense words become an integral part of conversation.[7] References1. ^Edward Dorn, Biographical note, Tens #1, ed.
