Something I always wondered about. Have there been any instances of fake Bukowski poems being published? During Buk's lifetime the man himself would have been able to spot fakes but after his death do you think chapbook publishers and fanzine editors ever published fake poems - either knowingly or unknowingly? Buk's name on the cover would have helped with sales.
Typing out a published poem with a few words changed I am sure happens every so often but any cases of outright fakes gets published as authentic?
Any thoughts?
