Father Luke, thanks for the recomendations on the books, I will check them out, and Roni, thank's very much for the interpretations. I totally agreed with you until I got to thinking that Bukowski as a fly seems to be a common theme in his work. Not in the way that Buk was literally using flies...

so truely NO, I don't want anyone to do my homework, but this forum looked like a nice place to exchange ideas with people who know Bukowski better than I have gotten to know him in 3 weeks of research. If you are familiar with 2 flies then let me know what insights you might have, and if not...

Just for clarity, I'm not Jebdo. I am not sure how my name and his/her message got combined. I am not sure what poem Jebdo is working with. I chose 2 flies because it looks like an earlier and more interpretive work. I have enjoyed reading Bukowski for the last couple of weeks, but I am not a...

I think you're wrong, and I think that the lack of real critique on Bukowski is because acadamia is filled with assholes that think they would be wasting their time on Bukowski because they read one or two poems on some get fucked web site, and decided that they understood what the man was all...

Boy did this ever go off track. 2 Flies has nothing to do with Bayonne. It's about a man who is annoyed by 2 flies. I believe that the whole poem is a metaphor for the conflicts between society and outcasts. I was hoping for responses along those lines. A- for effort. F- for relevance

I am doing an analysis of 2 Flies for a lit class, and if ANYONE has ANY insight into the poem, or knows of legitimate or even informal criticism of this poem, I would love to get some help finding it. Nothing on my college library database, and nothing on the Hillsborough County Florida public...

"A Report Upon the Consumption of Myself" Hello, I'm looking for ideas and interpretations so I can write an essay on this poem. Is it about revenge, lost love, Marxist theory? Any ideas? When the speaker mentions "holding you in Bayonne" what does he mean? Any help and I will be grateful...
