OK...so there has been a Bukowski zine but I am thinking of a one-off zine with pieces dedicated to the man himself including poetry/essays/fiction/art/photographs etc. I am seeing more and more people get excited for Bukowski so I want to put together a little something. Anyone interested in...

Use it as a beer coaster...

OK, so I love stuff, I love collecting stuff. Came across this shop selling Bukowski merch and well, I don't like it! It may bring Bukowski some new readers but seeing this, I don't know. Opinions? This is the link -...

I became a writer when I was in school, I wrote poems about dolphins and other children. I never believed you had to be published to be recognised as a writer - if you made furniture for your house and didn't make a penny does that mean you aren't a carpenter? All these years later I still...

Nice collection there, welcome to the forum :)

Our lists are quite different haha!

Thanks, I did a search but couldn't find anything posted.

Born Into This was great. I just fucking hate Bono.

So there I was doing my usual trawl of Amazon (along with other online shops) for Bukowski work when I stumbled across this. Anyone know anything about it? It is to be released by Ecco books next year.

Thanks for the lists, will be exploring some I haven't heard of.

I have to say that his poetry is wonderful. It disgusts me, makes me laugh and shows me that not all poetry is a piece of writing that needs to be dissected and then put together again...it is what it is and it doesn't waste my time! Get your teeth into his poetry...you won't regret it and...

I'm Katie. I'm in my thirties. I currently live in London. I am a journalist but avoid being an asshole. I write other things too. Ham on Rye blew my mind. Hi!
