Same poem. A couple word changes. Poem title in NYQ 51 is: IT'S A DRAG JUST BREATHING THROUGH MY NOSTRILS ALL DAY LONG... Essentially the same poem with some changes in Nirvana. Essentially the same poem with some changes made to the Come On In! version. Title in NYQ 49 is: SMALL...

...thought he'd written in some secret code because the pages we so thick with text. At one point he calls his wife a "nattering old cow" and wishes she'd just disappear...& I nearly did a spit-take! It instantly reminded me of John Fante's Arturo Bandini...which I consider mighty high praise.

John Fante came up as William Shakespeare. A second time, as Kurt Vonnegut

...value. Ebay is typically lower than market value... There are plenty of people here who have more knowledge about values of books than I do, though. Incidentally, if there is any John Fante in there, I'd be excited to hear about it... Shame about your friend, hopefully she has a speedy...

...2000, during the period of time that we were working on the Buk photogravures. He is perusing the (then) recently published biography of John Fante by Stephen Cooper. I don't think there are too many photos of Michael out there - he balked at my insistence upon taking these photos, but then...

...- I especially love when Red, who was another of Buk's friends, shit talks Chinaski in the bookstore - but there's a definite sadness throughout the whole thing. He also references John Fante and Dante Alighieri in there, too. It should definitely be read towards the end of your Bukowski...
