    Black Sparrow Press

    I just started collecting Black Sparrow Press books. So far, most of them are bad. Or just not what I am into. I mean, I love all the Bukowski, Mrabet, and Fante. But I cant seem to get into anything else in the BSP library I can get into. The books look beautiful. But...I dont know... Do any of...

    Outgrowing Bukowski

    I still love Bukowskis writing. But I am not as obsessed. My tastes have softened. I love Garrison Keillor and Richard Hugo just as much as I love Bukowski. I even have a new favorite book that is not written by Bukowski. Ham On Rye is now a close second to Crapallachia by Scott McClanahan. I...

    Earth Rose by Steve Richmond. Forward by Buk.

    I have a first edition of Earth Rose by Steve Richmond. The forward is by Bukowski. I'm thinking thirty bucks, plus shipping and handling. Pay via paypal. I don't know why I put myself in the picture. Does that beard make you want to buy things? It makes me want to sell things.

    Female authors

    I don't read enough women. Does any one here have any female authors they would recommend to a Bukowski fan like myself?

    I think Bottle Smoke has better covers that BSP. You could check out Lazy Fascist Press.

    if you like bukowski...

    Thanks man. Scumming butts takes character, in my not so humble opinion. Other great writer: James Crumley. Jim Harrison. Larry Brown. SaFranko. Chelsea Handler. Yeah, I said. ARE YOU THERE VODKA? ITS ME, CHELSEA is a great book. Shit made me laugh. Not a good writer though.

    SAM PINK. MY GOD! READ SAM PINK! His book, PERSON, is my favorite. Get that. He also has a great book of poetry, I WANT TO CLONE MYSELF THEN KILL THE CLONE AND EAT IT. So good.

    The Desert Is The Country of Madness: New Author from Arizona

    I'm a caveman. These typing gizmos confuse me. I don't know how to put up a picture on this forum. It's embarrassing. But here's a link to my stuff. DRINKING UNTIL MORNING was published by Black Coffee Press. It's dirty realism, a term I hate. The second book, THE CRUD MASTERS, is a Bizarro...
