    The senseless, tragic rape of Charles Bukowski’s ghost by John Martin’s Black Sparrow Press

    Sorry for the brevity. In the database you have access to a lot of manuscripts from that collection, and the manuscripts usually differ from the collected versions. Having said that, I‘ve never read Bone Palace, so I don‘t know how painful the changes are.

    Does Bukowski mention George Orwell?

    Bukowski, A Life: The Centennial Edition

    Lashing Out in Verse The first time I read about Yahya Hassan was around the same time the above article in the New York Times was published. Debut poetry collection of an 18 yr old, 100,000 sold copies within a couple months. Okay, I thought, but what can an adolescent tell me after all? Last...

    Bukowski - Festival 2020
