Update: Spoke with Johnny. "Poop" as published by Johnny Brewton for X-Ray Book Co. (pictured above) was printed true to the original manuscript. The version later published in a book was slightly edited. Johnny recently communicated with John Martin by email. Johnny will soon be posting...

Real disturbing.

Dear mjp, the destruction matters. Your stance against it is admirable. On my lunch hour today, I watched the video that zobraks linked above (thanks zobraks--great video). I wrote an email to Johnny Brewton. I asked: "Have you heard of the controversy about 400+ Bukowski poems appearing in his...

Michael, I just read your features "The senseless, tragic rape of Charles Bukowski's ghost by John Martin's Black Sparrow Press," and "The senseless, tragic rape of Charles Bukowski's ghost; the prequel." Intriguing reportage. I haven't read "The tragic flogging of a dead rape horse, a.k.a...

PM, Wow, the BSP broadside is substantially different from Bukowski's original poem printed in Relentless As The Tarantula. I wonder who made the revisions? Martin in 2001 or Buk in the '80s? The additions weaken it quite a bit.

Skygazer, did you see Boyhood? The first third or perhaps quarter, I was a dubious viewer of the Blu-Ray. Then, "it kicked in" for me and I loved it.

Interesting that you made that pilgrimage. I found 1984 to be transportive on the revisitation. Suspension of disbelief was the natural setting. Terrifying, tender-hearted, truespeak stuff. Jura around Orwell's rented house sounds like an I. Bergman film. How adventurous of you, Skygazer. "I...

I'm currently reading Patrick Wensink's Broken Piano for President (Lazy Fascist, 2012), a copy of the First Printing featuring the Jack Daniel's-style cover art that prompted an attorney for Jack Daniel's Properties, Inc., to send a cease-and-desist letter direct to the Kentucky author, not the...

The Beastly Beatitudes of Balthazar B by J. P. Donleavy

BUK SCENE 1, Desforges'/Hallers' excellent magazine for superfans of Bukowski features my 32-page contribution,"Gagaku Meat: The Steve Richmond Story." I've got an extra copy in Very Good condition for sale if anyone missed the chance to get one. Haven't listed on eBay yet--thought I'd put it...

Rock and roll. Thanks Hank Solo. Circa 28,000 copies were published 24 January 1969. Big difference between 28K and 90K. It's a scarce item and a great book. I'm in no rush to sell it. From Bukowski's Foreword to Notes of a Dirty Old Man: "More than a year ago John Bryan began his underground...

Got response from a Bukowski scholar and writer re: the collection so we'll see. Speaking of really exceptional cool beautiful highly sought after items in great condition, David,your Death at the Flea Circus box set is an item I need to own at some point in my life. Nice work, Bottle of Smoke...

Some watched but no one bid in the 7-day auction, so I've re-listed Notes of a Dirty Old Man (Essex House, 1969, 1st Edition) and added a Buy It Now option...

Thanks P.S., Rekrab and Black Swan. The Bukowski-signed copy of Writers Outside the Margin sold. I want Notes of a Dirty Old Man to find a good home as well.

Love Birds (1997) by Fred Voss and Joan Jobe Smith sold. I still have original printing of Goodstone Aircraft Company (1988) and The Honeymoon of King Kong and Emily Dickinson (1993).

I'm doing some house-cleaning and that includes the bookshelves... I've listed some Bukowski-related stuff on eBay--some rather obscure items. If you are so inclined, see: http://www.ebay.com/sch/stovepiperbooksmedia/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686

Steve Richmond (January 24, 1941 - October 20, 2009). RIP. Richmond's friends David Garcia and Ben Pleasants visited Richmond last week and got to spend time with him. Nearly blind from cataracts, Richmond was wracked with pain yet had retained his characteristic sense of humor. Sad day. Jan...

Interesting! I had no idea there was further "chatter" on this discussion thread. This is Mike Daily. To everyone who took time to comment, THANK YOU for your thoughts. On August 8, 2009, I got a message from poet and novelist Alan Kaufman, who contributed an excellent paragraph-quote to my...

Ha ha!

No stone unturned? Except one: Richmond, Steve. A. Debritto, do you still have the email you had in September 2008? No responses. We tried. David Garcia and Al Berlinski had the insights we were looking for. Sisyphus Lives. MR VICED HONEST

Very Fine job with The Wormwood Review, an absolute treasure trove of work. He is much missed.

Micheline, Jack MJ definitely = Jack Micheline. Surprised to find a brand-new collection of Micheline poetry last night at Powell's Books here in Portland, Ore. "Since nobody would publish his books anymore, he began to mimeo his own copies." --Bukowski It's a collection of many of those...
