Slinger (in 4 books) is a fantasy about a demigod-cowboy, the poet-narrator, a madam of a saloon, and a talking horse named Claude Levi-Strauss, all of whom travel southwest America in search of Howard Hughes, a symbol of everything that can and has gone wrong with the modern world. Although Donald Wesling said that Slinger "tends to resist description," he observed that the poem "is 'about' how and why we spend money and words in this 'cosmological' place; about . . . surreal imagery, personifications, the texture of jokes, the paradoxical aspects of thinking . . . and about how a self or voice can be differentiated into a cluster of other selves." Ed Dorn (April 2, 1929 - December 10, 1999) was an American poet and teacher often associated with the Black Mountain poets. His most famous work is Gunslinger.

Bright & tight copy, unread, in unmarked Near Fine condition. Very slight aging on still-sharp edges--not bad for nearly 50-year-old trade paperback--spot foxing, shelfworn look, sepia tone goes w/poem's aesthetic. "Dorn's high-spirited, crazy-quilt, complex anti-epic is a masterful critique of late twentieth-century capitalism and is one of the great comic poems of American literature. Dorn is one of the few political poets in America; this fantasy about a demigod cowboy, a saloon madam, and a talking horse named Claude Levi-Strauss, who travel the Southwest in search of Howard Hughes, as become a minor classic." [] "As an epic of contemporary celluloid America, with its cartoon versions of Capitalist Entrepreneurs and Outlaw Heroes, its simulated folksiness, its Sci-Fi allusions and reductive academic cliches, SLINGER was a poem very much ahead of its time. When Book I appeared in 1968, at the height of the Vietnam War, it was treated as something of an anomaly, even though the Black Sparrow edition of only 600 copies quickly became an underground classic and a collector's item.
