  Space in Ed Dorn's poetry
Dorn is identifying a particular human geography, influenced, as the language is, by the physical characteristics of the landscape, but also one in which there is a reflexive relationship between the people who live in a particular place and the construction of that space by economic and political forces.
Dorn uses the page as a site on which to build his poem, using the visual element to enhance the effect of the poetry and set up systems of cross referencing that would otherwise not be present.
Dorn is able to intertwine personal, social and economic material, and through the use of the split page he can make obvious different functions of languages, the uses different discourses can be put to and the different ways they influence expression.

 [No title]
Dorn has composed a great poem in a time of colossal social stupidity that has been effectively disguised, if not entirely, by the media and their hand maidens in the university system.
He reminds us that Dorn’s preoccupation is with rational attention, mentions the Rexroth effect on Dorn and suggests that it may be even more pervasive than the Olson effect, correctly locates the great poetry in the repartee, and points out the purposes of the various philosophers subsumed into the text and backgrounding of Gunslinger.
Dorn in a poem entitled “Dismissal,” speaking of Ezra Pound: He was detained not because he was the Greatest Poet, they couldn’t have known that anyway nor would they have given a hoot far from it.

 Literary Encyclopedia: Dorn, Ed
Ed Dorn, Charles Olson, Robert Creeley and their friends and colleagues at Black Mountain clearly instructed each other and were instructive on this transference from poet, through poem, to reader.
Dorn believed that one function of the poet in present-day America would be to stay as removed as possible from all permanent association with power.
Dorn said that reading the poem later he thought that it, in fact, was a clue to a chamber of his mind that he wanted to go into very much.

 Electronic Poetry Center - Ed Dorn
Dorn was born in rural Illinois at the start of the Great Depression, in poverty.
Dorn arrived already aware of the work of young British poets such as Tom Pickard and Lee Harwood, and he had corresponded for some time with J.H.Prynne (who accompanied the Dorns on their trans-atlantic liner).
Dorn suffered fools not at all, and sloppy thinking not for a moment: a lonely position at the best of times, and one that made him almost persona non grata in the current literary and academic climate of his homeland.

 Correspondents of Note
Edward Dorn, one of the poets that emerged from legendary Black Mountain College in the 1950s, was born in Villa Grove, Illinois.
Dorn is a thinker, and that fact, which sets him apart from the crowd, pervades his writing.
Much of Dorn's poetry shows that nothing in that principle of diversity need conflict with the attainment of formal eloquence and that ornate verse can exist apart from traditional meter and rhyme.

 Under the counter, by Matt ffytche
BACK TO Ed Dorn's was no cosy vision of humanity, but often an abrupt and indignant striving after sincerity of perception.
At times Dorn's love of succinctness twins with sheer gall in a kind of bullet-point doggerel - "Throat ripping / Ball torching / Fire balling" is his Coke-ad inspired response to the effects of iodine.
Only Dorn could hit that obscure angle at which hallucination, perception and political reportage intersect, forging a poem in which these minutes of a dying man become the terminal record of an aberrant culture.

It is worth noting that Dorn may well have been the first poet to have noticed and recorded the murderous underbelly of Fidel’s liberation of Cuba from Batista’s even more corrupt regime.
Dorn was a man with some self-knowledge – his comment that “From near the beginning I have known my work to be theoretical in nature and poetic by virtue of inherent tone” is accurate, figuring the work’s blind spots as well as its strengths.
At the event itself, on August 31, Dorn arrived as advertised, late, and lingered pacing in the back of the large sanctuary (Creeley and Kyger were seated up front), as if examining the crowd of 400 who turned out.

 Jacket 25 - Joe Safdie - Ed Dorn and the Politics of Love
In another early poem, “The Air of June Sings,” Dorn’s daughter is examining some of the inscriptions on the tombstones of a country cemetery; he himself is “moved to tears” as he hears “the depth in ‘Darling, we love thee,’ and as in ‘Safe in Heaven’”(11).
Dorn was always to deny that he wrote domestically, but his examiner at Black Mountain College, Robert Creeley, disagreed: “Ed writes from a domestic base all the way — and it really underwrites his politics” (Clark 36).
The Alien of Dorn’s tumor, like other enemies and rogue capitalists in his previous poems, assaults the condition of peace and common humanity that was always at the center of his work.

One evening I was sitting there listening to Dorn, when all of a sudden it seemed like there was something different about his voice -- something a bit more agitated than usual, something that made me sit up and break out my tape recorder, because I felt that something was about to happen.
Dorn: "Oh, it's not--I mean, the, the, the, the Head, the, the, the Head of the Department--the Head?--yeah.
Dorn: "It's just--but that's the way--because I'm an old time uhh teacher, I mean that's not--I'm as aware as anybody--that that is not the current view.

 Poetry Daily Prose Feature: Eirik Steinhoff, "A Map of Locations," a preface to "Edward Dorn, American Heretic"   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
McPheron observes that Dorn is "the champion of abstract intelligence who is hypersensitive to the social abuse of intellect and the celebrant of 'what is decent and lovely and dignified in man,' who nonetheless knows how rarely this promise is achieved" (23).
Dorn's adamant aggression against "the cogs that run this machine" is leavened by his unconditional sympathy with outcasts and underdogs, which from the start is a central component in his political imagination.
Dorn's refusals of orthodoxy most controversially included a rejection of the coercive pieties of multiculturalism and political correctness in the '80s and '90s, a stance that earned him a number of hostile dismissals.

It's great that Ed Dorn's poem (in book form, though it was originally published in a sequence of smaller parts, and assembled) is back in print, after the single-volume version took a short drop to the OOP lists.
Dorn's characters - who are derived from both John Bunyan and Paul Bunyan - wander through a landscape that feels like a spaghetti western existing inside a Star Trek wormhole.
The late Ed Dorn wrote a masterpiece with "Gunslinger", an anti-epic poem that prefigures many post-modern gestures from its 60s era starting point.

 Tom Waits: Mule Variations: Pitchfork Review   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18)
The main thrust was one simple point: nobody has written a truly great poem over the course of the last fifty years, and if anyone is going to write the one great poem of the last quarter of the twentieth century, it was not going to be one of us sophomore- year poetry scrubs.
I'd like to take this opportunity to extend Ed Dorn's admonition to the bulk of Pitchfork's readership, and to amend it thusly: neither will any of you write a song as good as Tom Waits' very worst song.
I have one theory about those dissing Mule Variations: they know in their hearts what Ed Dorn and I have just told you, and crying out "He's slipping!" is a backhanded way of claiming equality with one of the world's greatest living performers.
