- Summary:
- After initiating a critical involvement with new poetics in dialogue with his mentor Charles Olson at Black Mountain College in the 1950s, Dorn wandered the trans-mountain West following the variable winds of writing and casual employment until the mid-1960s, when a time of trial and change resulted in the beginnings of the groundbreaking long poem " Gunslinger" . This first biography by his longtime friend and fellow poet Tom Clark- author of previous biographies of Jack Kerouac, Ted Berrigan, Charles Olson and Robert Creeley- offers a record of Dorn's life and work drawing upon fresh testimony, letters and unpublished manuscript material provided by surviving family members.
