Hey all, I went to the opening and took lots of pictures. Then I got home and found out something was wrong with my camera and now I can't figure out how to get the pics onto my computer. I had a good time. Some of the shots I'd seen; others I hadn't. The stories attached to many of the...

Hey all, Thanks for the kind words. It's nice to know someone likes this stuff, haha. I should have a short story published on the same site next month. I'll keep you posted. As far as the name issue goes, one is my real name and the other is not. I've probably said too much already.

Hey all, Long time no type. I was away for a while (no, not in jail), but I am back now. In my absence, I had three poems published by Dogmatika. Please give them a look if you have the chance. I'm very excited about this, so please try not to piss all over me for at least a day or so...

Homeless Mind, Thanks for the comments. I agree about the first one. It was one of the first poems I ever read and it is better suited for prose. But it's just been sitting on my desktop, so I figured why not post it? As far as the second, the line about not liking writing isn't totally...

I'm a writer, but my experience is in magazines and newspapers. It's a great life for those who are comfortable with having no money and zero possessions. But I get to wake up at noon and come and go as I please and there's no dollar amount worth more than that. That being said, here are two...

Thanks everyone. I'll keep you posted. And to celebrate, I took a nap.

Hey all, I just found out I am having a short story and three poems published within the next three months. This is a first for me. I am excited and thought there might be others on this board who can relate. Of course, now that I say this, I'm sure I just jinxed it.

Jack(fill in the blanks) come in all shapes and sizes.

HA! I didn't even notice how I contradicted myself there, but thankfully you got the point. It's like saying Pet Sounds is your favorite record or the Beatles or Coltrane your favorite artists -- sometimes the cream does rise to the top and you can't let a bunch of jackasses deter you...

Thanks for all the kind words. My fav Buk...wow. For today, let's go with a toss-up between Ham on Rye or Post Office for prose and Bluebird for poetry. I almost hate saying Bluebird is my favorite because I know lots of people who don't read all that often and that's their favorite too...

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I love Stern. BABA BOOEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, After a tumultuous start with my Tony O'Neill post, here's a formal introduction. I am a writer from Long Beach, California. I have a blog and I like cats. Someone mentioned I should say something about Bukowski, so here goes... I got into Buk through John Fante (or should I say...

I'm very much a real person. A real person who does not work for Burning Shore Press. Like Rob said, we know each other and I consider him a friend. My intention was to tell like-minded people that there's a contemporary writer who I think is doing cool work. Sorry if that's not what the...

Hey everybody, long-time lurker first-time poster. I just finished reading Tony O'Neill's new novel, "Down and Out on Murder Mile." It's really good. He's also got a book of poetry out that's really good. And I say that as someone who only really likes Buk's poetry. Check it out here and...
