Hi everyone - it's been a while since I posted. I've recently been rereading a lot of Bukowski and an idea for an anthology zeroed in on a key period of his life occurred to me. Does anyone on the forum have an email for the editor at Ecco Press most connected with Bukowski?

This is a drawing I did of Bukowski as part of a book project of drawings of artists and writers.

Much prefer the new design. I never did care for the pissed in the pants looking photo - as a few people mentioned, it reinforced the skid row poet image. Everyone on this site knows there was so much more to Bukowski than that reduction.

Free until midnight 4/26: I've been publishing some ebooks lately - the most recent is Are You Cute? A Visit with Allen Ginsberg, by my late friend John Langsdorf. John was a prolific and talented writer who died in 1996 from a heroin overdose. His afflictions – agoraphobia, drug addiction and...

Wasn't aware this was one of the Martinized poems. There's now no enjoying or supporting this endeavor.

My post was redirected and I see there's already been a discussion about this. Like I thought, I'm in the minority on this one. For me, maybe its the pleasure seeing his words out there in the marketplace and someone hearing them and being startled by Buk's direct voice.

I'm stumped. What's a Fogel Founder?

Glad I made you laugh. I didn't have an e-reader myself until I needed one to edit this book. Things are changing fast. Writers have more power than ever in getting published - the big challenge is getting noticed. One cool thing about the e-reader is the novella is coming back. There's less...

I made the plunge and published a novel of mine - BASEMENT - as an e-book: The Jones’ have a prisoner in their basement. So do the Smiths. Times are tough. When a working class town in the northeast gets their fill of foreclosures and seizures, they turn to an experimental program that promises...

Sounds like a complete misfire.

I'm an easygoing guy. I can spare a hello. Hello.

From my blog, Pissing on my Pistols. http://pissingonmypistols.wordpress.com/

I agree that it needs more than an edit and the addition of the letters would make it an important book, instead of a marginal one. Linda Lee is sitting comfortably on a mountain of Buk's writings. The decent thing to for her to do is let to Linda King have ownership of the letters that were...
