for long may his words spread through the hearts and minds of those who find his books and see that down in the gutter there sometimes floats a beauty higher than the clouds
here's to you big man

what is it about Buk?
Man, I love this guy's writings--it has hit a nerve somewhere deep in my being. His story, his pain, his voice--just wonderful. Plain-speaking and to the point, Buk was the finest writer explaining the soul of the "outsider", the poetic everyman that walks through this world...ahh, what is all this sentimental shit? He was the best fuckin' writer of the 20th century--period.
Here's to you, Hank.

the only good poet
One retreat after another without peace.
he battled death in life and defeated it. you know and i know and thee know.
well, I've been reading Bukowski poems out loud to my 3 year old.
he was unmoved by "the tragedy of the leaves". he's not my son...
my wife didn't find that funny.
have had a couple of beers, and when I put the kid to bed in a few minutes, I'll tie on the booze trough.
wife isn't partaking tonight, we had a few bottles of wine last night, and I'd rather spent this evening soused solo, anyhow.
ah well.

today has been a very somber one for me.

Here's to you old man.....
I hope you're zooming around up there
With that wicked smile and a brawd (sp?) on each arm,
Savoring your good luck and fortune,
And with all your heroes in the back seat....
And toasting,
Toasting.
Salut!

(Are you in that BMW?, Buk or,
"that blood-wine battleship she drives
with a weak battery, and the doors
hanging from broken hinges."?)

"...some critics say I write the same things over and over.
well sometimes I do and sometimes I don't, but when I do the
reason is that it feels so right, it's like making love and
if you knew how good it felt you would forgive me
because we both know how fickle happiness can be.
so I play the fool and say again that
it's 2 a.m.
and that I am
Cezanne
Chopin

Chinaski
embracing everything:
the sweep of cigar smoke
another glass of wine
the beautiful young girls
the criminals and the killers
the lonely mad
the factory workers,
this machine here,
the radio playing,
I repeat it all again
and I'll repeat it all forever
until the magic that happens to me
happens to you."

I think Manny said that, rather than Hank.
Some great stuff there, thanks.

Hey red! Tried to get through but this stuff is still a bit new. I want to talk more about B's views of women but am still frustrated with the net. Should be easier but isn't, ain't that the same old story. D
What is all this sentimental crap? It's like a bunch of girls crying if some boy forgets their birthday. Fuck this.
Oops, sorry, that got sent to the wrong place, my apologies. I'm still learning... hang with me I'm worth it. D

How long do we have to wait? So far you're pretty far off the mark.

Ouch, sorry mjp, I've always liked your thoughts. What mark am I supposed to be aiming for?
