Cool. Thanks.

 

[roni]

thanks again man!

 

[Bukfan]

Nice poem. - Thanks, mdr!

 

[LickTheStar]

Another nice poem. I'm consistently amazed at the quality of a lot of the stuff I read that isn't collected... Thanks.

 

[Marx Renoffski]

Could someone please tell me what a hoagie is?

 

[LickTheStar]

Next you'll be asking what a grinder is... or a sub... or a hero... And then you'll be wondering about the difference between a tag sale, a yard sale, and a garage sale...

Ah English... what a lovely language...

Those cool dark tombs don't sound bad at all...

From the 1974 issue of Everyman.

I believe this is uncollected except for one small excerpt, which eventually became a broadside published by X-Ray Book Company in 2005.

The same excerpt was also included in the poem "as Buddha smiles" published earlier this year in The Continual Condition.

 

[Johannes]

Hehe.

Great poem. Thanks.

 

[roni]

thank you, babe!

The same excerpt was also included in the poem "as Buddha smiles" published earlier this year in The Continual Condition.

And before that by the budding Bottle of Smoke press.

Good one.

 

[marina del rey]

Well, yes and no. The "as Buddha smiles" version in The Continual Condition is a little different from the collection published by Bottle of Smoke Press. "I shot the cat" wasn't in the BoSP version, but someone took the editorial liberty of adding it in the H-C version.

I guess the editing is irrelevant, though, since it wasn't conceived as a single poem anyway.

 

[Erik]

Thanx anyway.
Great read!

 

[LickTheStar]

Thanks for the post. I love those small style broadsides too.

 

[Bukfan]

Thanks, mdr!

I always thought hoagie was strictly a local thing here in certain parts of the NE where as most of the country and world refer to them as subs. but a cheese steak? a philly cheese steak in LA in 1974? :confused:

 

[Black Swan]

Very nice,

thank you mdr.

 

[nervas]

Yup, very nice.

Ha! I think panties is one of my new faves!

 

[pig ear press]

ah, that made me feel better after a hard day.

Many thanks

"I shot the cat" wasn't in the BoSP version, but someone took the editorial liberty of adding it in the H-C version.

It is in the original poem though...

 

[David]

Nice to see an EXACT transcription of the MSS poem for a change. Have we determined whether "as Buddha smiles" in The Continual Condition is an actual poem written by Bukowski or a collection of fragments put together by Martin?

Here are the rest of the poems from Everyman Summer '74. My copy also has a a sheet of uncut Trojan wrappers. I have to imagine this was included as a "supplement." Way to roll Guyahoga Community College.
