Maybe I'm thinking of a memoir, but I vaguely remember something in the Sounes bio where he said something to her (in a letter?) during an argument about how he "wanted to have fun too so he picked some guy up on his way home" that she wasn't sure what exactly he meant by. Not that it much...

Happy very belated birthday! For some reason or another every time I sit down to type I think of the Laura Petrie poem. Thankful for this forum where I continue to read new stuff and learn new things every week. You da man. Cheers.

https://www.submittable.com So this site is used by publishers and writers to submit works as well as advertise opportunities from specific mags/presses. The few writers I know only use this site to find opportunities and submit work. I'm not familiar with how a press would join and post...

I dont have any strong feelings about reading fees, though I can say I usually dont submit to places that require them. But Bukowski ,as well as any writer before the advent of email, paid for postage, stamps, as well as writing materials modern writers dont technically need (ribbons, carbons...

I'm going to make sure I get you something for this. If the poems are up to snuff I'd love to be involved. And is the maximum submission 3 pieces (two poems one short story/essay) or is three poems and a story acceptable? If you like the poems I might send you a manuscript when your reading...

Are you accepting multiple submissions given the reading fee would be paid for each? If not that's cool, just wanted to clarify. Dziękuję!

It could have been the follow up to "Dreams in the Witch House"..."Dreams in the attic of my third-floor brownstone apt on Pine Street in Philly, during college"..you might have got lucky and avoided sacrificing your neighbor's infant or something. I'm imagining the brown jenkin with a very...

Here is a "set" of paintinga I've had my eye on at a local antique shop for months. They dropped the price and I got them, much to the behest of the old lady! No idea who painted them as they arent signed but I love stuff like this that is just too ugly or too bizarre to not be interesting. Also...

Here is my Royal 10, with intact original side glass panels that are etched (nothing interesting just a frame but still) and also a much cleaner photo of what my desk looked like 6 months ago. Need to do some tidying! Here is a little Brother JP-1 variant re-branded by Royal as a...

Agreed! So I'm hoping to get the best bang for my buck and find a few good ones to get a subscription for. I've had a few hit and miss suggestions, like pank and vagabonds. Vagabonds I got a poem accepted to them after a bit of digging. I'd like a few mags to read that are worthwhile.

Finally got myself an SG1! Sadly I share the space with my girlfriend's cats, my 9 other typewriters and a shitload of books. But amazing machine! Any other typer folks? If so I'd love to see some of your machines. Disregard the mess...its the usual state of the area.

Hello peers, I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations for lit mags to submit to and read. I dont like to pay reading fees to magazines I've never read and I think trigger warnings are fucking absurd. I might have a 20th century mentality as far as writing goes but I've had 4 publications...

“Gentlemen, I would never attempt to rape two ladies at the same time.”

Thanks, I definitely should have included this. Much obliged

So while finishing the third volume of selected letters: Reach for the Sun, I found a nonchalantly bizarre letter to a Mr. Bohlke. The letter just states in a manner of fact way that Bukowski would accept Bohlke's inheritance if he died, although he states he told him he would not in a previous...

I think his acting may be better than some of the music. Just saw him in The Ballad of Buster Scruggs last weekend and he was great as usual.

Do these "Dreams of the Beast" columns exist? If so, are they readable somewhere? Would they be new stories to me or just the "Dirty Old Man" stuff recycled?

Link to some "performance art" I found on Vimeo titled : "On Bukowski". Aptly titled because she definitely does something "On Bukowski". Note that comments are disabled. Not sure exactly how to feel about this one. Some of the others on her vimeo channel include her stepping on balloons...

Sounds for the most part similar to "Reunion" from Tales of Ordinary Madness minus the fact that the story begins with him returning home from the hospital. Since you haven't listed the above book as one you've read this might be one to revisit. Hope this helps.

Does this exist in any viewable formats? There isn't even a link on their website?

Just finished "The Story of the Eye" by Georges Bataille...and I have absolutely no idea why this book is deemed important. After a few weeks of exploring "subversive" French literature, reading Salo by De Sade and Journey by Celine this month, I've concluded that it isn't something I'm into...

Does anyone have access to the actual poem titled "war all the time"? It exists in the database but not in the book with the same title. There is a line in the book from the poem "pace is the essence" which reads: "those guys think it's got to be previous hit war all the time." So did this...

Just read one where he mentioned hydrangeas. It's the way you play the game In love is a dog from hell "Vomiting as you go Into the Hydrangea"

I am not on any sort of budget to be a collector of anysort, I have my books and they are all used and beat in, but the words are more important than the money value. Even if this copy was mine I wouldn't sell it, I just love that it found me. I have 11 dollars to my name, work somewhere where I...

I was watching a documentary about social media "poetry" and one of the women was saying she wondered how certain writers would have implemented social media sites in the self publication of their poetry, one of the names she mention was Bukowski and this got me thinking. Do you think he would...
