This one isn't in the database and I'm not sure if he shared this story elsewhere, but it's a fun bookend.

Someone has a copy on ABE: $450. It's interesting neither made it into an early chapbook. Maybe he never got a copy or just didn't like them.

Appreciate the eye candy.

Welcome. Have any photos?

Thanks. Certainly intriguing. At first glance it looks like Matthias' work. Have you figured out a way to view it? I'd love to see it.

So Falco, how did the amazing REVEAL go? Did you all shit your pants?

Welcome

Your point that physical books are being destroyed to train AI is valid: https://fortune.com/2026/07/31/dutch-bookseller-ai-spam-phishing-3000-book-copies-scan-destroy/ But I'm pretty damn sure that Marvin Malone would be honored and pleased that Wormwood is available to all. I'm a bookseller...

Thanks for the advice, but unless you're a highly functional alcoholic yourself, it's like a virgin telling someone how to fuck.

With Waits I just got tired of music for arts sake, but I love most of his catalog (Nighthawks the most). Shane's another one, but I like his entire catalog. I don't know if it's the same album, but I heard Springsteen do a cover of Rainy Night in SOHO recently. I almost switched the channel...

I can understand why this one is uncollected, but it's worth a read. Including ads for Confessions, Earth Books, Cold Dogs, Border Book (never came out) and Poems Written (did not end up being published by Mad Virgin).

One of his best early poems. At the time he was probably the only one who knew he was writing about his father.

Honestly, Waits has done nothing but piss me off since Get Behind the Mile. Does the world really need yet another Oompa Loompa song or whatever he passes off as music these days. Check out he and Yoko's latest abortion: https://www.reddit.com/r/tomwaits/s/kpFs7T9n0a

Here's another Buk/Waits intersection from my virgin year on the forum. I was a lot like hankfan back then, just a little more subnormal: https://bukowskiforum.com/threads/waits-and-buk.7593/
