Buk Trivia... Answerer becomes next Questioner

[cirerita]

ok, who chose the poems which appeared in The Outsider #1, the very same poems which caught Martin's eye and made him think Bukowski was the modern Whitman?

 

[bospress.net]

Jon & Lou Webb? It must be wrong. Can't be that easy?

Bill

 

[cirerita]

Ha! I thought so until this morning... but no, the poems were chosen by a different person, and those poems "blew Jon and Lou away"

 

[bospress.net]

Norse?

 

[Bukfan]

According to Miles bio it was Sherman who put Buk in contact with the webbs, so I would guess that Sherman also chose the poems?

 

[cirerita]

yep, Sherman was the culprit ;) If Sherman hadn't chosen those poems, then Martin wouldn't have read them, then BSP would have never come into life, then... you know the drift.

 

[Bukfan]

Ok, here we go. One of the first critical articles on Bukowski was published in Northwest Review. Who wrote it?

 

[cirerita]

His friend ;) Corrington

 

[Bukfan]

That's right! - your turn...

 

[cirerita]

well, a bit too late, but here it is. Where did this pic appear for the first time?

 

[bospress.net]

I have never seen this picture....

 

[cirerita]

Ha! Ha! The things you haven't seen, Bill... read the message I just sent to your email address!!!

Where did this pic appear for the first time?

I'm quite happy it appeared HERE now!
Thanks cirerita! You KICK ASS!

 

[Bukfan]

I have'nt seen this pic before either. I would guess it's from The Buk Book, by christy...

 

[mjp]

Where did this pic appear for the first time?

Playgirl.

 

[cirerita]

nope both.

hint: it appeared in 1978 in a mag run by three women who asked Bukowski to sent them a pic of him naked.... along with two poems which were also published.

 

[bospress.net]

not pearl?

 

[cirerita]

nope!
ok, this pic should give you the right answer:

 

[bospress.net]

That was really more wangs that I planned on seeing today...

 

[d gray]

is that for real??? that's fucking hilarious! seriously, cirerita, is that for real?

 

[cirerita]

I'm afraid it's for real ;) According to the three female editors, Buk was only too happy to send them that pic for Mr. February.

 

[d gray]

wow. well, i always did think of him as heroic, but this is a little extreme :D

 

[mjp]

Ah, well it's easy now. That calendar is from The New Yorker.

 

[cirerita]

ha! nope.

ok, the answer is in Fogel. Go through the "K" mags and you'll find it.

 

[bospress.net]

Koff #3, although at this point, you really gave the answer away...

Bill

 

[cirerita]

bill, that's right. your turn, sir!

 

[HenryChinaski]

wow, this thread took a turn for the worst.
nobody likes to scroll down and see cocks just lurking around. at least buk had the decency to make sure his couldnt be seen.

 

[bospress.net]

Hi Cirerita,
As you gave that one away, I bounce the ball back into your court. Please give us another one. I am drawing a blank and fear that I will come up with another one along the lines of " is Buk left handed?"


Best,
Bill

 

[cirerita]

ok, thanks Bill. Where did this pic appear?
