    Bukowski has finally made it

    onto Coronation Street, a long-running British soap opera set in the North. "There's nothing wrong with reading a bit of Bukowski and Shakespeare," Said a character. How do I know this? The women were watching it, of course!

    The case of the missing Buddha

    It is a small thing, I know, but are there any images of the Buddha Bukowski writes of in a couple of later poems. It doesn't appear in the 90's photo of him at his desk. Tenuously related, but this is what I found with a search.

    The eternal question: who in the hell is Pascal?

    Bukowski mentions a Pascal in one of his writers list type poems, the poem What They Want. (Love is a dog from hell, Essential Bukowski). Who is this Pascal, any idea? There was a writer Blaise Pascal, but he didn't slit his own wrists, as far as i'm aware. Now I'm off to eat some Chinese.

    Norman MacCaig (the late)

    Never heard of Norman MacCaig until this video interview, when looking up a Glaswegian poet, Tom Leonard. (40-odd-years later, I thought it might be time to look at some writers from my birth country.) It kind of tweaked my synapses, this interview. Who knows, it might do the same for you.

    relinquishing the market

    I have posted below a transcription (for better or worse) of a portion of dialogue from a 2005 episode of the South Bank Show, that might be of interest. The particular episode looked at the glamorisation of madness, and investigated if there were a connection between madness and the work of...

    frank harris and his hard father

    thanks to poptop, today i began reading a beat-up 1960's paperback i'd found some years back: a bio of one frank harris - from the cover, he seemed a larger-than-life character... i was quite astounded. i read the preface and found some remarkable similiarities between harris and bukowski...
