Carbon copy of a typed poem, signed and dated by Bukowski in ink, with several corrections in ink. Published in "The People Look Like Flowers At Last" - p.186 (2007), with note on Bukowski.net website that the manuscript differs from the collected version.
Should we make a list of the 10 commandments according to JM for "editing" Bukowski? I mean the list
of 10 things which are not allowed to happen in his writings?
Bukowski puts a star in the margin of manuscript to indicate Bukowski's fondness for the piece, according to his Black Sparrow Press publisher John Martin. The seller of this poem Michael Phillips, however, points to "4-notes-buk" on the top of the poem and "next poem" on the bottom (both of which which Bukowski crossed out) to say that this and other poems with the star only signify that they are part of a larger manuscript.
It's not correct about typewriters either, but we can't fix every one of their listings. We're indirectly fixing enough of them already."not dated but circa 1965 when B still used his original antique typewriter until JM gave him a standard manual Royal Typewriter in 1969." This unfortunately cannot be the correct date of the poem...
I like how auctions always describe any face Bukowski drew or painted as a "self-portrait."
Scary!
Where are his gloves??
Yes, I realize that. As I suggested, I don't care. And again, I doubt if they do either.this water mark has a context of 'not for copy' that indicates some sort of right by the maker of the digital artifact.
yeah, for a book guy, he sure manhandles rare, extremely fragile books.
