posthumous editing issues

This is from Sun #1 (1961). It's reprinted in Slouching Toward Nirvana but with some differences.

Not Chinaski; Klienholtz! (Who?) A copy of the 1970 Runcible Spoon on display at the Huntington inspired me to dig out my copy and give it a read. Unfortunately for you, I can't just read it and shut up. Three of the poems are uncollected, but I can't bring myself to put this 41 year old piece...

New game: find the butcher! A stanza from a manuscript: all breathing tissue must be used against the impossible A stanza from the same poem in a posthumous book: all facial tissue and toilet paper must be used again and again if possible. Okay, now find the butcher! Go. See you on the...

Bukowski was so mighty he could revise from his grave! There's no other explanation for this.

Does this qualify as irony? Manuscript: consider that this page you are looking at now, I was typing the words under this yellow light with the radio on. From The People Look Like Flowers At Last: and remember this: the page you are looking at now, I once typed the words with care with you...

Just received my HB of Portions and I did notice that there's nothing to indicate "First Edition" or "limited to 1000 copies" but... I'll keep the whining to a minimum! ;)

I have always wondered how far reaching Martin's changes were in the first edition of Women. I haven't had a copy of the first paperback until recently, so I thought it would be fun to see what he had added or removed. Well, it's not fun. It really sucks reading two versions of the same book...

A lot of Bukowskis 'new' work has been edited rather dubiously...i.e. taking out swearing, changing a line here or there, replacing guttural words with more learned... What do you make of this? Bukowski has become such a lucrative industry...they are just churning the shit out...butchered by...
