Mine came over the weekend, Bill. Thank you! They really are beautiful.

I feel like I first saw it in an older book review, but I bet marina del rey is right and 'Drinking with Bukowski' poularized it recently...

In Notes, in the Cassady column, he writes about Kerouac a little. I think also in the often-quoted political rant he writes about the beats more generally. I always got the idea that Buk didn't much care for Kerouac? From Notes, "Kerouac had set him up for the sucker punch and Neal had bit...

I love the pic of Bukowski with the typewriter. it's like "sexy Buk." He looks so clean...

I completely agree. I love mermaid and it's not because I'm a necrophiliac. It has a kind of Of mice and men quality, to me, or, at least, that is one comparison that comes to mind, not that it's ever very good to compare Buk to other writers... I think Bukowski is almost never...

Oh, of course. Thank you. I think the FBI file is (inherently) ambiguous and was hoping for something concrete about the obscenity charges. I know there is stuff all over the bios and the memoirs, but has anyone ever cross-checked the FBI claims against the actual laws back then? What was the...

Can people request the Post Office files the same way? I don't know how it works...

Has anybody heard of this interview with Buk in Brick (Literary mag/journal) by Lucy Gray from the Summer 2007 issue? The interview is evidently from 1989 or something, but I am not sure if it has been published before. I want instant gratification--does anybody have it? I tried to search the...

False accusations from scumbag lawyers The thing that is bringing me down is that people are sending me the links to the article that is popping up because they know I'm in to Bukowski and one person even asked me, "did you know this about him?" It's a shame and it's bumming me out.

Fancy!

Oh, that is great stuff, thanks. I love: "I guess I might be if that means being something I shouldn't be--say like listening to Mozart all night while drunk."

Sorry--I wouldn't have gotten it from what I wrote either. Click on the link that Roni supplies and when the page (finally) pops up, click on "Wahlkabine" at the bottom of that page click on the link that reads "Hier geht's Zur Abstimmung"--that's when the ballot will pop up in a new window and...

Way too early in the morning here, but I think I figured it out. I clicked on the link, and then clicked on the picture of the ballot, I chose the people, and then was stuck. For all you English speakers (I asked a German Professor): The first box is for your first name, then last name in the...

No, you're not an asshole, but the wit and slightly acerbic charm of the argument definitely help make your point. And I think, I could be wrong, but that is part of why esotouric couldn't really say "good-bye bukowski.net" and had to come back for an attempt at a final word. Also, for what...

i can dig it too--honestly, i hadn't given it much thought, but i think mjp makes an entirely logical and, i have to say, entertaining argument. mjp--are you a lawyer in real life?

The name of the store is Visible Voice Bookstore. And I'm so glad a few private bookstores still exist--this is a great place and a great place to shop/browse--so much better than a big box. (See, Buk fans aren't negative...)

I couldn't give two poops to the wind about anything deemed "classic" or "great" (by some academic's criteria) but this is a good poem: Dulce et Decorum est Bent double, like old beggars under sacks, Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge, Till on the haunting flares we...

I live in a half cute/half dilapidated little neighborhood near downtown Cleveland, OH-USA. A (wonderful, really) bookstore opened fairly recently. I heard they had some Bukowski. I couldn't find it amongst the other fiction or poetry. I asked the guy at the counter whether there was any...

I'm going to guess either 2 or 60. I have no idea why I think either of those numbers :)

Maybe by "things" he means, not poetry, but the "real blood" you know? Maybe by social circle, he doesn't mean friends, but the people he "has" to do stuff with, colleagues, Felicia's friends, people from back-in-the-day, that sort of thing??? I didn't mind Sherman's little book, maybe because...

I always knew I wasn't special :rolleyes: what else about the malone...

when is it due? i'd do the tragedy of the leaves...

i've been up to my eyeballs in french philosophy--f-ing baudrillard...Buk would love that! the thesis has been on the back burner, but i have got to graduate already--teaching ENG 101 to 18 year olds is exhausting. i need help again--what do you all think about malone's biography 'the...

Here's that quote: The only person in my immediate turf of whom I could say ?there?s a real poet? was Charles Bukowski. That?s why I say he had an influence on me. And by sheer gumption I ended up at the same press. I was doggin? that man?s tread. I would go to his readings and be the only...

I had no idea about Wanda Coleman, but I read some and I liked it. I'm not huge on poetry...mostly prose, although I considered once trying to make a connection between Baraka's audience and Bukowski's...too fringe even for me, seems it would all be conjecture...interesting, though. and OH...
