all your moxie (1 Viewer)

[jiika]

hiya,

i'm new to Bukowski, so forgive me if this is an obvious one for fans...
i heard this quote on a doco I saw recently

... "it's not a matter of how old you can become, its a matter of how long you can keep going having all your moxie" (may not be exact as i scrawled it down at the time)

does anyone know where this comes from? would love to hear the context

many thanx
jiika

You should hit that search link up there and type in moxie. There's a long thread about it somewhere...

thanx for the tip mjp, the search has revealed much discussion about the word, evidently in much more use than i had imagined... some great reading, alas no direction to any poems that use it

still on the hunt
