The Gunfighter Elegies

Todd Moore
Todd Moore (1937–2010) was an American poet associated with outlaw, Beat, and independent small-press poetry. Raised in difficult circumstances in Illinois, he worked as a teacher and librarian before settling in New Mexico. His many books include Dillinger: Book II, The Corpse Is Dreaming, Working on My Duende, Meat, and Russian Roulette. Moore developed an intense, stripped-down poetry of violence, crime, American mythology, and mortality, particularly through his lifelong fascination with outlaw John Dillinger.
