Hello this time? If it works...

hello... trying again to say Hello to Buk fans... xmas is over, a new year happened and we got a new President... i need a new computer and have not been able to access the BukNet nor this appreciation thread to gab a lot or even jot a hello... Went Went Girl, a piece of my memoir Tales of An Ancient Go Go Girl, is just out, published in current issue of AMBIT, a British lit journal ... Buk not mentioned in Went Went Girl but he inhabits heartily chapter 12 titled Charles Bukowski: Beercan in the Garden... before i ramble on, i better see if my computer will let me submit this to BukNet or be disappointed again when it just dies on me like it has the 4 other attempts at Buk Talk since before xmas...so: Hello, Buk Fans and: goodbye for now... my best to you all... love, joanJOBEsmith

Hi joanJOBEsmith. Is this the one?

http://www.ambitmagazine.co.uk/

What's the issue number we need?

Perhaps #190 - The Most Miserable Go-Go Girl of Them All - but that looks to be about 12 month old now? Hmmm #195 would be the latest. Hope you can let us know for sure.

Be well.
 
Hi Joan,
Do always copy your written text into the clipboard of your computer before pushing the 'submit'-button! If an error occurs, your data will still be there.

"The law is wrong; I am right"
Beer cans in the garden" - wasn't that the title of JJS's Buk article in Beat Scene's Buk Special mag?

trying again, gods are With me...??

ok, i broke thru to the "other side"--the world of buk fans! what luck... this computer stuff reminds me so much of one of those olde twilight zone epis: there's a world out there but you can only access it via your ear pressed against a drinking glass pressed against the wall; i feel like such a creepy voyeur...thanks for yr responses and attempt to help me access this. i don't think our computer has a "clipboard" but i will look for it. now i know there is "another dimension beyond" the dementia of my technostoopidity. my mem piece Went Went Girl appears in AMBIT 195--and their address is on internet. yes, Beercan in the Garden appeared in Beat Scene, circa 2004; i've expanded the piece and included it as a chapter in my 260pp memoir Tales of An Ancient Go Go Girl. i may submit my Tales to the Drue Heinz 1st novel competition again this year (i tried one other year). but right now getting the thing published in toto seems impossible in these times of tanking things. yes, some of my go-go girls poems appeared in AMBIT's fall, 2007 issue. In 195 Ken Cox illustrated Went Went Girl, doing his 2009 version of those 70s go-go days. such fun to see an artist's take on yr prose/poem ideas. the 1st chapter of my memoir, "Amalgamated Bricks" was published in AMBIT 173, summer 2003 and inspired some fascinating art by mark foreman. AMBIT's a fabulous and respected UK lit mag and has published art by Hockney and Bacon along the way; did an interview of Tennessee Wms long ago. Buk wd've loved to appear here; editor Martin Bax a Buk fan as well as a fan of counterculture americana art and lit. (a very interesting typo i corrected just now when i changed "vulture" to culture.) am verrry cold right now. we have no heat here in my huz fred voss's condo, a "dingbat" design from the 50s with a heating system so toxic we had to turn off pilot light and the structure too rickedty to support upgrade, so i am shivering with quivering fingers as i write this. thanks for providing me with proper spelling of ionesco, buk fan! shall try to submit this now...love, joanJOBEsmitho.. p.s. martin bax is comiing to US in may and i will be part of an AMBIT readiing at Angels' Gate in San Pedro, Calif... no definite date yet...
 
... i don't think our computer has a "clipboard" ...

every computer has.
Just mark your text (by holding your left mouse-button down and rolling over it), then right-click on your mouse and chose 'copy' - that's all!
The text is in your clipboard now (until you copy another thing in it). To get it outa there, just right-click again and chose 'paste'.
It's very simple.

Welcome on board!
And please get yourself a heater! Being cold will ruin your health AND your comfort!
