  • Reviews
  • Jennifer Dunbar Dorn was born in Moscow and grew up in London. Married to Edward Dorn for thirty years, her collaborations with him include a book of poems, Manchester Square (1975) and the magazine Rolling Stock (1980s). She edited Dorn’s posthumous collections of poetry Chemo Sábe (2001) and (with Michael Rothenberg) Way More West: New and Selected Poems (2007). She taught at the University of Colorado and lives in Denver. A chapbook of her poetry, Galactic Runaway, was published in 2007 by Limberlost Press.
    A Collected Poems of Edward Dorn, the American poet who died in 1999, is a necessary and overdue publication, and, whatever the circumstances, the fact that it was not published in USA suggests that there is something very wrong with the local culture over there, a fact of which Ed Dorn was very much aware. read more
