    Thanks for the direct

    I'll have to start paying attention, I guess. You guys are quick.

    Please help me if you can. It's about Bukowski's poetry theme and style.

    So. Was Bukowski left handed? Or was that a different thread?

    I was thinking I might just look up Irving Stettner in the library. He was written about in a book called: Miller, Bukowski & Their Enemies: Essays on Contemporary Culture by William Joyce. That's for fiction. For non fiction I read a book called The Culture of Make Believe -- by...

    Quiet is relative

    I remember e-mailing you about starting a forum, one day, and you had been wondering if a forum would serve any useful purpose. I'll rise above any judgements to just chime in that I'm glad you set up the Forum. I really am.

    Bukowski Stuff For Sale

    True, true. I can't wait until the day I actually have some place to hang one. And I don't think that the post was too anything, especially not too capitalistic. Your goods and services are valuable in what they offer. I'll speak for myself, I'm glad you're here.

    Another 'Lets get to know each other' thread!

    Father Luke reporting for duty. Writer, poet, homeless (last night I spent the night in a rescue mission tent, listening to a shoeless old man snore and fart away the night. Earlier, I had been sleeping in a basball field until I was kicked out by local Police...) and I am going to...

    Fair enough. It was interesting to see Lenny Bruce included, and I enjoyed Dr. Hunter S. Thompson's poetic addition of the moment in the restraunt in Point Richmond he spent one evening.

    Awwww, c'mon. Let's talk. Why didn't they let him in? In the preface they said that there wasn't permission, didn't they? There has been so much said about Grampy Buk, do we have to hazzard guesses on this one? Do tell... do tell. Inquiring minds want to know.

    Well, I needed to put my glasses on to remember he helped edit the book. Interestingly, as you may know, but I'll pass it on here, Bukowski was not in the Bible of Am. Poetry as his estate declined to grant permission. Trivia for the forum. Groovy. Wicked kewl, d0oD - as the kids like to say...

    S.A. Griffin doesn't ring a bell. But if everyone in Delaware says so, then he must be worth at least asking for a few dollars from. How would I know him when I see him? I call Santa Cruz, California "home". Hey? You still have my mailing addy? I'm on the 'puter 'till about eight o'clock...

    Would You Suggest Writing as a Career?

    Buk Buk Booze Yeah. I'm a writer. For a brief spell I earned my daily bread from my words. I wrote before I ever found Bukowski, whom our very own Brother Schenker introduced me to in Ham on Rye, many years ago. I have no doubt that Buk influenced my writing. It's kind of like the same way...

    Ad for Run With the Hunted chapbook, 1963 (chapbooks for a dollar)

    Buck for a Buk. There is poetry in the old man's history. Damn straight.

    When did you discover Bukowski?

    Ham on Rye. Mr 1:15 suggested I read it. "Read this guy, you'll love him." Well, Bukowski was funny, raw and fucked up honest. Ham on Rye was the first. He was right.

    I'd just read that somewhere. The thought of Bukowski watching Eraserhead in a movie theater, and maybe eating some popcorn with Linda, cracks me up, man. Okay, Father Luke
