Wyatt Earp in Dallas: 1963

Author: Steve McCabe

"Using the cowboy iconography of Wyatt Earp to interpret and understand the Kennedy assassination, Steve McCabe has constructed the fascinating Wyatt Earp in Dallas: 1963. Ambitious in its undertaking, but very accessible in its language, this long poem and drawings explore the stories of Earp and Kennedy through real and surreal images and oddball characters. From the divine Miss Dove to an outlaw named Noah complete with a figurative Ark, McCabe careens between myths and times to redefine the action hero and, ultimately, manhood itself."
~ Molly Peacock, President - Poetry Society of America
