I haven't seen anybody post anything on these volumes: Bukowski: Back to the Machinegun, volumes 1-3. (Have I missed it?)
Anyway, I just got all three. They are great, as you'd expect. The unaltered poems. But I'm still puzzled about what's in them and what's excluded. For example, "The Shoelace" c. 1971 is not in these books, but it's in Mockingbird.
I kinda thought the manuscripts would include everything. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Chrisw
