Just signed up here after snooping around the site for a while. Been interested in the great (mad) man since Barfly came out and I discovered the movie was somewhat autobiographical. Bukowski was by far the most sane madman I've ever come across. Some of his stuff came from god knows where yet a lot of it strikes a chord
The following bits from 'Poem for Nobody' jumped from the page and as usual grabbed me by the scruff of the neck
"we are all museums of fear"
"there are as many killers as flies as
we dream of giant
sea turtles with strange words carved into
their hard backs"
"Cain was Able,
ask him
give us this day our daily bread"
