If you haven't, watch it. Anyway, aside from that recommendation I noticed (you can't really miss it) that in season 5 episode 11 (5mins 30secs) Bojack asks the screenwriter where does he get his ideas and on the whiteboard next to the writer's desk, circled, is just 'Bukowski'. I thought this...

In a shameless hustle, Mr Hines has a new short story in the debut issue of Hanzir of which there are about a dozen copies left... www.pigearpress.co.uk I plan to grab as many words off him as I can before he gets an agent and a profile photo that says 'I am a serious and challenging writer...

Thank you for beating me to the punch :) Yes, it has indeed gone on sale and it does indeed feature Mr Hines with a new story, Alexander Adams with a new poem and several other folks who may be known around these parts. I've gone for a school copy book meets 80s sex club look, with the use of...

Hello, For anyone who is interested, I have decided to open submissions for a new journal of poetry and prose. I ordered some red acetate today and purchased a tool for cutting large holes. I still need to source some thick, black card with a rough texture that will take oil-based ink, if...

John Bennett put out a book with Kamini Press (which I have) a few years ago. There's quite a lot of info about him and his work on the Kamini page... http://www.kaminipress.com/kamini-press-book-store/john-bennett-battle-scars/

Fred is married to Joan Jobe Smith and the two of them seem to travel to Europe quite a bit. As poets they probably get more opportunities to attend readings/literary festivals, etc. than they get book sales, especially with their connections to Bukowski. As a result it may actually be more...

http://eatmytangerine.com/charles_bukowski_poem_for_dante.html I couldn't see this mentioned anywhere else. This completes the holy trinity with the one from Bospress and the one from X-Ray Book Co. (which is sold out). I received my copy of this one and it's a very smart package.

I watched the new Blade Runner film last night and then came across this today... https://www.aesop.com/us/r/the-fabulist/hampton-fancher

So someone is now editing John Martin's life's work too :) Anyway, I remember that poem Bukowski wrote... Approved by the Guinness Corporation of all the bars I chose the one with live Rock 'n' Roll music, barbeque dinners and scented floral garden to have my name upon that bar I mused that...

I've been meaning to pick up Bohemian New Orleans: The Story of the Outsider and Loujon Press I know that it is a bible to some small publishers.

I'm reading 'Our Man in Havanna' by Graham Greene. It's what he called one of his 'Entertainment' novels, so as to distinguish it from his more serious works. 'The Quiet American' and 'The Power and the Glory' are two of my favourite novels, and although this is very different (it is a farce...

I've had this one marked on my calendar since it was announced back when. Hopefully the press will pick this one up and help you find some well deserved success.

We have these creatures known locally as suicide beetles which come up from the drains with the first rain of the new season. Well, after 140 days without rain, they finally appeared after some showers last week. They fly up into the air, fall to the ground, and soon after they die. A life spent...

Hello, Just a quick note to say that I have just released a short story by Hosho McCreesh. The HBs were all reserved before the launch, but there are still about 10 paperback copies left at £7 (which includes worldwide postage). You can see more details at www.pigearpress.co.uk Thanks for...

Having John Wayne as the lookout makes me want to steal books from there. Were Kerouak and Bukowski communists? Wayne probably thought so.
