LOL, wow. He did what everybody else wasnt doing. MEANING: he found his own style of writing and did everything on his own.
I suggest you try it.

He wrote in short sentences and short chapters, often in the first person (the "I" form)...
HAHA, this is spot on, but hardly original! Of course, Buk does express himself in a rather idiosyncratic manner. In a real sense, if we all wrote, we would all write in an idiosyncratic way....but most of us would be SHITE...because we don't have the patience or intiative to keep carving at the word, our word.
Remember to add in your essay that Bukowski payed close attention to - formal poetic structure, such as a sonnet, haiku, sestina, ode, blues poem, etc. Also mention that he focused greatly on Rhythm and often his poems have an identifiable rythm arranged in meter such as iambs, spondees, trochees, dactyls, etc.
Bukowski was a stickler for Formalities of All Kinds
and loathed those Free Verse degenerates!
In fact, use that as a quote in your essay,
embolden it: your Teacher will love it.

Hi,
It would not surprise me anymore that someone would have to do a research project and would think that letting forum members supply them with information would do it. Unless the teacher knows Bukowski, they could get away with it. I would love to read that report on Buk's rhyming, formal poetic structure.
A friendly word of advice for BrittnayT (if she really exists)...
A forum like this is a place to learn more than you could learn by doing years of research. For what you are doing, the best bet would be to do a Google search or check out the dreaded Wikipedia.

If there is a god, her teacher will have read Bukowski and will see it for what it is... That would teach her to try to have others do her work, instead of just looking it up herself. Really.
I thing that you are right. She probably chose Bukowski for some school project because she looooooves Matt Dillon.

I'm just fuckin tired of these...please I got a school project and its on bukowski topics. i don't know anything about him blah blah blah. then why do a project on something you know nothing about? just chill out. sorry if you were offended by my statement but it just gets on my fucking nerves.

I didn't mind helping out jeremy60, who seemed genuinely interested in Buk and just needed specific poems to support topics he had already chosen.
But from here on out, I'm going to start billing at an hourly rate like a professional tutor - $35.00/hour. Any more comments like "shut ur mouth" and the rate doubles. Paypal accepted. Thank you. ;)

Is there somewhere I can get a copy of that? I have a few things I'd like to say!
