Bukowski featured on the cover of a fairly recent issue of Beat Scene - number 104. I'd post a picture of it but can't work out how to load it up. Does this count? It included a 7 page essay on Bukowski by Harvey Kubernik.

The day I heard Buk had died I got a small brown envelope from him in the post. There was no letter from him inside. But there was a typed poem - SO NOW. I had been meaning to reply to a letter he had sent a while before. I'd typed it out - put it in an envelope but hadn't gotten around to...

Where is Tom McNamara? Great series of letters with Buk in mid 1960s.

The chapbook of 32 pages plus title page, endpaper and covers with foldovers is a long essay by David Calonne. He discusses Bukowski's early poetry and development, referencing Catullus amongst others. As you'll know with David, he is thorough but very readable. I'm at kevbeatscene@gmail - the...

For anyone interested 'Charles Bukowski - FIVE' by Neeli Cherkovski is a very recent chapbook in the Beat Scene Press series. This is No 45 in the series. 125 numbered copies. 8" x 5" format. Foldover flap covers. A really nice essay by Neeli. Available from the Beat Scene Press here in England.

Zobraks, thank you very much. Saved me looking through old things. The poem cropped up in an interview I'm doing with the editor of a little press editor here in England. The poem was amongst a few that appeared in an edition of his MOVE magazine in the mid 1960s. A very early publication for...

I ran an article about Liza in Beat Scene 70, Spring 2013. It mentions her links with Lucien Carr and her contributions to the Rolling Stone Book of the Beats. But again, I have no knowledge of her latest situation. Is it still a mystery?

Anyone direct me to the book that includes the Buk poem OLD MAN DEAD IN A ROOM? It appeared in a small press English magazine in the mid 1960s.

I realise this is a pretty old thread but I was reminded of Ben Pleasants just this morning when he sent me an email after a long gap of a few years. I was pretty surprised to hear from him after he was very abusive and insulting over the chapbook I did of an excerpt from his interview with John...

That photo is of Malanga for sure. The first picture of Buk I believe is from October 1972. A few were taken with Linda King and John Martin at the same time. If I'm not mistaken. I featured some of the photos in an issue of my Beat Scene magazine. John Martin looks uncomfortable, nobody is...

I've interviewed John Martin twice over the years for my Beat Scene and Transit magazines here in England. He's straightforward. If anyone is interested contact me at kev(at)beatscene.freeserve.co.uk

Ponder, it has been expanded.

Bill, not a bad idea. May do that. Watch out on a well known auction site. Or could that kind of thing be done here? Cheers Lolita, my favourite football team had a manager & his nickname was The Snoz, so it was good enough for him and I've probably got a big nose! Cheers Gerard...
