Hello from London!
I'm new here and keen on getting more Bukowski. I got into Bukowski through reading John Fante and would like to get some more of the man who he influenced. I have read Factotum and a selection of his poems and reallly like his energetic style and honest writing. I am particulary taken with his poems and would like to get some more of his work. I'm not huge poetry fanatic I must admit but his work seems to grab me more than most poetry I have come across. While I enjoy his humour and no thrills writing style he is most recognized by I also like the more poignant reflective moments too.
Oh yeah I am currently reading Locked in the arms of a crazy life by Howard Sounes...pretty good bio so far!
