Hello everyone!
I hope that someone can help me with this question. I read a collection of Bukowski's poems, translated into my language (Slovenian) and the title of the collection is a verse from a poem that's entitled something akin to "It's a Long Way (Road?) to St. Louis".
It says something along the lines of
"Lawrens found Taos,
Jeffers Big Sur,
I found angels at the bottom of my glass"
"There are angels at the bottom of my glass" or something like that (the last two verses of this poem) is used as the title of the collection--I found this title fascinating, so I am trying to locate the original poem but can't seem to find it anywhere.
Could someone please direct me to the original poem in English? I'd be eternally grateful. Thank you very much in advance!
