61 years old and I never heard of Bukowski. Someone posted part of Raw with Love on FB and I had to investigate. I felt like I did when I first heard Richard Thompson lyrics.
I have a lot of catching up to do. Books have been ordered.
Fascinating how his editor hijacked his work after his death. Looking for Raw with Love here I found the page from the LA Free Press. So very different from the version you find online. Sanitized, slashed, prettied up. I like it grittier better. That reflects real life.
So much to learn...
