    Trading Places

    Hello: I found this. It appears to be a short story written by a Liam Wendell. Never heard of the author or what his relationship was to Bukowski. Never saw it in any of his books. Had me laughing. Great dialogue. Anybody know if it was published in a magazine? Bukforever Trading Places...

    Feminist criticism - real, actual, recorded in black & white?

    Hello: I'm relatively new to Bukowski but of the books I've read, it seems he might have been a misogonist--lot's of typical disparaging remarks about women. I remember reading somewhere this remark by Buk: "the woman who go to the race track look worse than the 5000 claimers". Stuff like that...

    Where does Bukowski stand among 20th century writers?

    Of course, being a Buk fan makes me a bit biased..only time will tell where he ranks among 20th century writers...the fact that his prodigious output encompassed just about every literary and artistic medium including poems, stories, essays, letters, interviews, drawings, sketches, paintings...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    MJP: Parting shot all in jest, you understand. The Last Day Of The Pentameter Kid 'Isn't it a lovely day, Mr Fogel?" "Oh yeah, yeah" "What are those lumps on your kepala?' "The buknets from Ward B pummeled me with their iambic tetrameters" "Dont worry, Mr Fogel, we'll see to it...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    You hit the HEAD on the NAIL!! Works quite well with stubborn pre-adolescent children, too! They always want to do the opposite of what Mommy and Daddy are telling them. OMG..where did you get my pic??? Yeah, hat's me in the middle. Now I've been exposed as a blatant liar! (as well as a...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    Hey chronic:Yes, but I didn't say that I didn't suffer from LWS (last word syndrome). But you can bet the house if the tables were turned and mjp said he would bet that I would respond to HIS last reply..no way in hell. I've got ego..but i'm not a total masochist. I know when to pull in the...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    I knew you would respond. Everyone on this post knew. Why? Because you wouldn't be able to sleep or function without throwing your last penny into the fray. " i've been receiving these crazed "Private Messages" clamoring for more founders whilst not saying the most kindest of words about.." Of...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    d Gray: You GOT IT, baby! A Found Poem with sardonic humor! You recycled the verbal bullshit of niceguy and juxtoposed it in a surprisingly different way, thus giving the original bullshit sayings of niceguy a new lease on life. As painter Howard Town wrote, "and its marvelous to think of the...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    You guys don't get it. They are great FOUND poems--not great poems. For christ sake, they're just a reworking-- usually from a sub-literary source-- a turning of the verbal iambic undertone of formal or neo-formal academic-structured poesy up full volume for a moment, offering a chance to...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    I'd like everyone to know that MJP deleted 3 fantastic founders (and he KNOWS they are top-notch and would interest Buk lovers) that I sent to Bukowski who absolutely LOVED them (along with a Bukowski-related Poetry Slam). I was led to believe (and I read in one of MJP posts) that you were...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    Wish Me Luck, Mockingbirds Hey, you guys are clever and sardonic! Never knew I had so many profreaders, oops I meant proofreaders (altho the first misspelling might apply) to choose from to help free my Extravagant Absurdities of spelling or syntactical enjambments. Thanks Zazen! Thanks MJP...

    "Found" Poetry Anyone?

    MJP: "not that anyone would consider what you posted poetry" Hey, the Buk considered it poetry--an outstanding and amusing found poem. I think everyone on this post will agree that Bukowski might be a little better judge of what constitutes an excellent experimental found poem--than you...
