I discovered Bukowski flicking through TV channels one Sunday night, and there it was: Taylor Hackfords documentary in black and white. It was the part where he is in the liquor store
Bukowski: "I'm a poet"
Lady in liquor store: "A Polack?"
Bukowski: "No, a poet"
Another poet that most who like Bukowski would like: Philip Larkin. Especially his last book, High Windows. I am surprised and not surprised that Bukowski never mentioned him.
