I just somehow only learned today that a friend of mine is the daughter of Edward Dorn (although it all totally makes sense now)
psychedelic cowboy epic Gunslinger (1968)
Popular horror novelist Stephen King (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_King) admired Dorn, describing his poetry as "talismans of perfect writing" and even naming the first novel of The Dark Tower series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dark_Tower_(series)), "The Gunslinger," in honor of Dorn's poem.[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Dorn#cite_note-2) King also opened both the prologue and epilogue of "The Stand" with Dorn's line, "We need help, the Poet reckoned."[3] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ed_Dorn#cite_note-3)
