It's reassuring to know he probably wouldn't have censored himself. I guess the question would be whether John Martin, who already famously censored Bukowski as it is (a crime you have covered extensively if I recall rightly), would even bother publishing Bukowski knowing the onslaught of...

I'm not attempting to deflect anything, I was merely pointing out that guys like Ewok get a lot of shit on here and while some of his statements might be misguided, he strikes me as harmless, yet people still love to stick the knife in. Of course I knew posting that would draw negative attention...

Most 'people' are idiots! that goes without saying MJP I would have thought you knew that by now. Yes I chewed apart a generation, as have most others on this thread! Nothing I said on this board was untrue, Yet here you are chewing me (check me with the fancy italics) for being honest and...

I spent five years binge drinking moved to a new town and didn't have anyone to drink with so i become introverted and read books instead. the first book i read was by buk which was perfect as it related to my previous lifestyle in some ways and it went on from there. Did it further encourage my...

God the modern day world is a disgusting mess. This generation truly sickens me. I think a more important question is whether Bukowski would have even been accepted in the modern day, he would probably have been bombarded by feminists and other so called liberals, defaming him as a misogynistic...

bigger or smaller, I never noticed them before on the old one but the new layout is growing on me.

Franco doesn't seem like the right man to portray bukowski's life as a writer, actor or director... his version of howl did nothing to warm me to the beats, but I guess if it brings new eyes to bukowski that can't be a bad thing .... even if they do belong to a bunch of pretentious hipsters

I too miss the old lay out and the unsightly social media icons are pretty disgusting, especially when put on the same page with buk... however I like the new picture, buk looks happy in it :)

Thanks zobraks

the website looks different to when I was on it last, new layout or something... google +/twitter presence etc

Thanks guys, I will persevere regardless of the loss and purchase an iron key. Oh and back up all work, also in the form of paper print if i have to, even if it adds to the stacks of junk already cluttering my place, I guess its better to add to the mess that is my room than the madly congested...

today i accidentaly broke a usb stick which had about two years worth of writing material on it. Only some of this had been backed up. I am devastated, distraught and heartbroken and both cursing the gods of misfortune and myself for not backing up all of the work. I took it to a local shop who...

I've recently read One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, but it took me a while to finish. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the novel, I struggled with it a bit to begin with but once it got going I thought it was really good. I've always liked the film and found the book even better. So really, I was...

I imagine there are a lot of writers and here and obviously/definitely a lot of readers and I was just wondering what you all made of the latest literary revolution (this time technological) that is self publishing and e-publishing with sites like amazn, cre8 space etc. on the one hand would be...

I Haven't seen Hart Crane and am not all that familiar with his work (the poets) I will check both out some time. I actually quite liked Howl, although I'm not really acquainted with the whole beatnik scene, maybe I will get into it one day but so far I don't know much about it and haven't...
