I haven't been here in a while. And it looks like things have really changed during my absence. How the hell did "The Roominghouse Madrigals" and "Dangling In The Tournefortia" become the lowest ranked poetry volumes? Do people no longer appreciate the great man's two greatest poetry books?

I Haven't been here in a while.But I was just on e-bay and saw a listing for a signed copy of "betting on the muse". This isn't right. Buk died in 1994 and Betting on the muse is from 1996.

i'm new here so i don't know if there is already a thread about this. I was just wondering if you could only read one bukowski book for the rest of your life what would it be? personally i'd have to go with either "Ham on rye" or "last night of the earth poems" . i would choose "ham on rye"...
