[1fsh2fsh]

thanks for taking over Petey.... I'm just no good with games....

 

[Ponder]

OK i put in the year of 1943 so i will go ahead with a tough one:
What was the original title of the docu "Born into this" ?

Tough one for sure! Is it time for a hint?

 

[Petey]

one hint my friends:
the title refers to one of Bukowski's posthumous books of poetry from 1999.

 

[taxidriver]

what matters most is how well you walk through the fire?

 

[Bukfan]

the title refers to one of Bukowski's posthumous books of poetry from 1999.

One of them? wasn't there only one published in '99?

 

[Petey]

Yes Bukfan you are right there was only one published in 1999 maybe my
sentence structure was not clear enough.

So Taxidriver is very close to the answer but i wanna the exactly title
gentlemen!

[Petey]

Walk Through the Fire: The Life of Charles Bukowski.
I read it in an interview with the director J.D.
So it's your turn Bill !

Hi,
I'll pass my question to taxidriver. He was so close and I would love to see him stump us. So, taxidriver, your turn to ask a question!

[taxidriver]

This is a mutli-part question because I think the answer will be a bit easier to find and you'll probably find all the answers at the same time.
There is a certain Bukowski poem in which five things are described as being as perfect as someone's hatred. The poem has been published four times and was originally printed in a book that shared the same title as the poem. What is the name of the poem and what are the five things that are stated as being perfect?

 

[hank solo]

The poem is of course 'The Genius of the Crowd', and the five things are

• A Shining Diamond
• A Knife
• A Mountain
• A TIGER
• Hemlock

Ok, who interviewed Bukowski for the audio cassette magazine, 'A Moveable Feast #3'?

 

[Ponder]

[roni]

I read it in an interview with the director J.D.

where's that interview from? can you do a scan of it?

 

[hank solo]

On you go Ponder.

 

[Ponder]

In wich magazine appeared the poem "The flashin of the odds" for the first time?

Later collected in The last night of the earth poems.

 

[cirerita]

It appeared in the comic book Real Stuff #2, but it might have appeared in other mags as well.

 

[Ponder]

Darn! I thought this was a tough one :)

Your turn!

 

[cirerita]

Issue and name of this mag:

 

[Petey]

hey, Petey:
where's that interview from? can you do a scan of it?

hey, Roni:
my source was again "Free Thought" magazine Vol.II , Issue I , Summer 2000
see page 10.
As you know it was a special gift from the German Bukowski society so you
must own it too.
