Letter to Marina

G

grendel20

I forget in which compilation i found it, but there was once a letter from Bukowski to Marina. In it, he spoke kindly (weird for him) and softy. It's pretty touching. The only part I really really remember is where he mentioned something about checking both ways before crossing the street. or something similar.

anyone know where i could find this? thanks!

In Screams from the balcony, page 337, this:

hello Marina:
I went to the store today and I was thinking of you and I bought
a red light and a yellow light. these fit into the lamps.
someday when you get here again we will put them into the lamps
and see how they look

(. . .)

I have to go to work now. please try to be happy.

(. . .)

but i love you
very much. stay healthy and happy and have a good time.

I have a question, who is marina's mother? Sorry if this is a dumb question, but as i was reading the timeline i got confused as to who birthed her.

FrancEye (Frances Smith) is Marina's mother. She just did a reading in SF or Sacramento the other day with some friends of mine. She seem to be doing well. Also, I heard that Marina had another child, which would be Bukowski's second grandchild.
