Book Description Hardcover. Edition of 450. Taupe cloth/boards; blind-stamp lettering. White dj with black lettering and large "g" on front cover. Mylar cover. [202] pp. with no illustrations. Scarce. 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. NOTE: The title page lists the title as "Slinger." VG/Good+ (Clean and tight; Mylar cover soiled, but dj underneath looks VG.) Art school ex-lib. with usual marks. Seller Inventory # 159380
