Edward Dorn’s Gunslinger is a long-form, experimental poem that blends Western themes with satire, philosophy, and surrealism. However, there is no widely known Gunslinger Book III: The Winterbook by Edward Dorn. Dorn’s Gunslinger was originally published in parts from 1968 to 1975 and follows a mystical gunslinger and his companions on a bizarre, psychedelic journey through the American West.
