My name is Logan. I am 19 years old. I've posted a few times but haven't officially introduced myself.

Here's my story: On a fateful night on New Years Eve 2004 a friend showed me a book titled Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way. It was that night when I discovered Buk. The first poem I read was So You Want To Be A Writer?. It changed my life. (If you want to read it, it's here: http://thebluesman.livejournal.com/2005/01/01/)

So now two years and fifteen books later I am here. It seems like a long time ago now.

I have recently published my first book of poetry called You Can't Be What You Were. You can check it out here: http://www.lulu.com/content/340176.

My favorite Bukowski book is Burning in Water Drowning in Flame.

I love this forum. Thanks to whoever started it.
 
Howdy ;)

Logan, welcome to the neighborhood... I checked out your on-line poetry and enjoyed your love of language and youthful enthusiam"”a great start for you now that you've descovered B. so early in the game... Wow that the first poem you lucked into was "So You Want...". I wasn't that lucky myself: it only came to me nearly after I'd read most everything else of his... Burning in Water... is one of my all-time favs. What a genius, huh... "”Luck, Poptop

There are definitely some scholars here, though I don't count myself among them. Keep poking around in here, you'll see.

You're awfully modest. I don't think you have to write dissertations like Abel does to be considered a Buk scholar.
