I know that there have been threads that mention how Buk felt about John Fante, but I've recently read several poems in this vein (as well as the well-documented short story I Meet the Master), so here's what I have all in one place:
- Preface to Fante's Ask the Dust (1980);
- I Meet the Master (circa 1984 - see Portions from a Wine-Stained Notebook, pg 205);
- The Funeral (circa 1982 - Blow 5, pg 14 (also
butcheredcollected as One Writer's Funeral in The Night Torn Mad with Footsteps, pg 15 and The Pleasures of the Damned, pg 421); - Result (circa 1983 - see War All the Time, pg 156 and Wormwood Review, Number 103);
- Suggestion for an Arrangement (circa 1983 - see War All the Time, pg 158);
- The Passing of a Great One (circa 1986 - see You Get So Alone, pg 147);
- The Wine of Forever (circa 1986 - see You Get So Alone, pg 149 and The Pleasures of the Damned, pg 423).
