So, what other poets get you like Bukowski does?

Hi, sorry mjp, wasn't aware of this.Do hope some people look her up though, she is the current Makar or 'Top Bard' in Scotland,and an impressive lady.

Great conversation about a wonderful poet. We're actually compiling a list of poets similar to Bukowski as a crowd-sourcing effort to recommend other poets that Bukowski fans might like. The page is here. Please feel free to add names and vote on existing suggestions. It would be great to some day have lots of good recommendations for Bukowski fans to check out. There's nothing quite like discovering a new favourite poet. I'm sure many of you remember the first time you discovered Bukowski himself.

But, as god says, crossing his legs,
I see where I have made plenty of
poets but not so very much poetry...
