    o, I definitely do own my past (if nothing else). Just as It owns me. We've been a married couple since an age when people think you're too young to even Have something like a "past". What I seldom had (and surely can't "control") is a present. [ I did at times; so I know what it is and...

    Database updated

    Not only the database! Have just realized: The WHOLE treasure-trove's gone. And the "Bye!"–message seems to make it clear that it was on purpose. [see screenshot] I'm troubled. Have I come just back, only to witness the next loss? And what's the story behind? .

    Sparrow

    Now we have. Thanks to your spot-on observation. Given the SPARROW-publication-dates (1973, '75, '77, '78) in relation to the "Play-The-Piano"-publ.-date (1979), my guess would go the other way 'round: Maybe J.Martin first selected the 40 poems for the 4 SPARROWs over the years, then...

    Ha, that'll teach me to think, before attempting to seemingly "correct" anything. I now get, that your intention's been to say: while My own interpretation was, that you'd belief, there actually IS a German book by that name, like: I guess, I simply was overexcited to be...

    just for the sake of smartassery: To my knowledge, there is no German book by Bukowski titled "Das ist Alles" [Engl.: "That's all"], but these were the very words with which he ended his reading in Germany in 1978 [only followed by "Dankeschön" = "Thank you kindly"]. One can get it on the...
