    a little help (dog name thread)

    Animals find their own names. There was a stray cat who found me, and no name I picked seemed to work with him. He was 100% no pressure, and a good cat. Finally I settled on flat tire. Remember, he was 100% no pressure. Worked like magic. Good luck.

    Love as a Theme in Bukowski's Poetry

    This wouldn't really account for Jane, though, would it? Jane wasn't attracted to the Bukowski persona. There was no Public Bukowski. Jane was his true love because there was nothing else besides she and him. No public persona, no screaming women at poetry readings, no one sending...

    Love as a Theme in Bukowski's Poetry

    Being in love, as you say you are when you read Bukowski, is infatuation. Unrequited love is Henry Charles Bukowski holding Jane Cooney Baker's black dress, and knowing for certain that all of her loveliness is gone. That was the difference, vodka. I pretty well talked about this...

    Love as a Theme in Bukowski's Poetry

    Would you agree that he was prolific? He really rather wrote on a variety of human experiences. Which do you mean? of through It's easy to see why you may disagree that he was a writer who wrote well. Not everything may be as easy to express as first it seems, vodka...

    Love as a Theme in Bukowski's Poetry

    I think you meant unrequited love, and/or loss of love rather than an actual lack of love. For the most part. Yeah. Some critical acclaim acknowledges it, but your average Joe on the street will point to fucking, or drinking, etc. The same things some academics point to in dismissing Buk...

    Electronica backing to a Bukowski poem.

    You know, I went to bat for you here slugger, but I'm gonn'a let you swing away now. The Buk-moting, so that the average joe may be exposed, is a wee bit arrogant. In other words, someone will now read Bukowski because of you, when they wouldn't have otherwise? Okay. ;) Hey...
