Talk:Gunslinger (poem)

Notability
I've removed the notability tag which was added last month. Here are a couple of extensive articles from the Poetry Foundation website with significant coverage of the topic:


 * Colin Dickey, True West.
 * André Naffis-Sahely, The Borderless Empire of the Interior.

Furthermore, the poem has been the subject of a reasonable amount of academic scholarship, including at least one entire monograph:
