Music critic gets a platform on PBS to call for the censorship of music. Hit that "like/dislike" button to show her how you feel. I would say "add a comment" but - strangely - the comments function is disabled. Hmmm....

I wondered if we could have this thread a place to discuss collecting/pricing/selling Buk books, broadsides and so on. (If this seems the redundant or the wrong place for the thread, please feel free to erase or move.) Any thoughts on the pricing at the moment? I think it dipped with the...

Since we get newcomers every week with quotes, perhaps it would be a good idea to have this thread as a first-call. Got a new one spotted in the wild: "An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way."

If any of you are interested in Grove Press/Evergreen Review/Barney Rosset, it would be worth spending a few minutes looking at my new review. I was lucky enough to get a copy of Maarten van Gageldonk's thesis on the subject dealing with European writers published by Grove/Evergreen. Read the...

I thought I would drop you tidbit. I was recently talking to someone who was close to the project to publish the Buk-Norse correspondence. Apparently the manuscript was all prepped and with intro and ready to roll but there was a problem. Norse was alive (he died in 2009) and happy to see the...

Here are two new articles on Bukowski published today: 1. http://www.spiked-online.com/newsite/article/charles-bukowski-distortion-of-a-dissident-poet/17405#.Ve16ZPldU5k 2. https://alexanderadamsart.wordpress.com/2015/09/07/changes-to-posthumously-published-poems-by-charles-bukowski/ The first...

I know that this has come up before, so apologies. I am considering presenting a paper on Buk and the Beats. Do you guys have leads or thoughts about Buk's relations to the Beats? Sources, comments, quotations, ideas all welcome! (Sorry I've been away for a while - personal circumstances etc.)

This looks like a nice set, priced reasonably. Offering at $400 for the 4 vols...

If you ever feel like you need something unrelated to Martinizing to stir up your ire, then consider the art of Rob Liefeld, perhaps the worst comic artist of all time. He became vastly rich and influential despite being unable to master even the most basic of elementary style and anatomy. If...

Here is a link to some intermittently funny pastiches of Buk on the humour site somethingawful.com: http://www.somethingawful.com/news/charles-bukowski-singularity/1/ Not bad, it their way. Centred justification shows us the guy isn't so up on Buk. Actually, when I clicked on the link, I hoped...

Just thought you might like to see what has been keeping me away from the forum for a while: http://www.spiked-online.com/site/reviewofbooks_article/13395/ (the book review, not the "religion", I mean). Joseph K.

Just wanted to let you know about BBC Radios 4 and 4 Extra. You can listen online for free here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/ Radio 4 has general talk, news, drama and comedy. Radio 4 Extra has more drama, comedy and book readings (although R4 also has a few of the latter). The main reason for me...

Here is a link to a site which describes itself: "Letters of Note is an attempt to gather and sort fascinating letters, postcards, telegrams, faxes, and memos. Scans/photos where possible. Fakes will be sneered at. Updated every weekday." http://www.lettersofnote.com/ Well, worth checking out...

5 broadside poems. Folio. Each broadside is one of 27 numbered copies signed by the author (of a total edition of 30). Publisher John Martin remembers giving many of the broadsides away to random visitors in a time when Bukowski was virtually unknown. A fine, complete set of these rare Bukowski...

I wondered if any of you had come across references to Bukowski using notebooks. I know he composed a lot of stuff directly on typewriters (and later on word processor) but did he also use notebooks? Anything in the archives on this? I mean notebooks as a place for ideas and lines and rough...

I think the hardback 1sts of BSP are great designs, bold, memorable and distinctive...just not right for Buk. By and large I find them too neat, unadventurous and not suitable for Buk's writing and subjects. This doesn't apply to all. I think Ham on Rye, Roominghouse Madrigals look perfect. Post...

I'm a sucker for Buk letters. Does anyone know if there will be future editions of unpublished letters? I suppose any publisher could handle them (with estate permission). Any idea if this may happen in the next few years? Laughing boy, Joseph K.

Here's a poser for you: Do any of you guys have insurance for valuable BUk books? Do you go to a specialist or put it on house insurance? How does the valuation get assessed? Some insurance number cruncher sits down and surfs abebooks? Fess up - who's got expensive uninsured editions and...

Since this is the haunt of bibliophiles, here's one for you: What do you think about the prices paid for CB books? Are they entirely down to the issues that preoccupy collectors (rarity, signature, association copy, edition, condition, etc) or are they in some degree influenced by how highly...

This the poem Buk read on tape about him killing bugs in a whore's room. Is it in the new film? I couldn't find it on the database. Which books did it appear in? And is that the real title? Just call me Gregor Samsa fixated.... Your buddy, Joey K

I wonder if anyone knows if CB kept a notebook (wine-stained or otherwise). I guess he was the sort of writer who would sit down and actually write what came to his mind rather than research adn plot and try out phrases. Are we right to assume CB didn't kept notebooks? So, any ideas...

In some countries legal documents such as wills are available to the public and sometimes published online. Has anyone investigated to see if Bukowski's will is online or listed somewhere accessible? Can anyone summarise or even post a link or scan? Apologies if this is mentioned...
