half truth magazine (1 Viewer)

Olaf, in the "against bukowski" thread gave a link to half truth magazine. they say they're going to publish a book of poems, stories, and letters that Buk sent them in the early '90's. interesting, no?
I'll send them an email to get a time frame.
they also have back issues (I'm not affiliated) of Buk's stuff for sale at $4 to $6 a pop. there are 6 or 7 Buk related issuesany one have any info on this? the database lists only one issue of half truth (short story).

yep, those are listed in Fogel. Do they have a webpage?

do you know if they'll reprint the poems and short-stories already printed in those back issues?

Well, if they do put out the book, and someone here buys it, then I hope we can add the contents to the database. ;)

Speaking of which, yes, work on the database is still ongoing. I recently added all the broadsides listed in Krumhansl (there is a separate broadsides table in the new db). I assume when I finish this beast you guys will help fill in the blanks that will inevitably be there.

It occurs to me from time to time that this database project is a futile effort (like when something like several back issues of Half Truth suddenly become known), but what can I say, I'm into futile efforts.

Glad the link was of some use....let me know what you uncover!!

Well, if they do put out the book, and someone here buys it,

ha! I don't think that's a worry.
