Greetings everyone, my first post...
Everybody's go their story, here's mine: A few years ago I ran across "The Days Run Away..." on a library cart to be re-shelved. "Nice title", I thought...but when I opened the book it was loaded with hand-written comments in the margins of many of the poems..."Fuck Bukowski", "Bukowski Lives!", and so on... first book I'd ever seen where the readers felt compelled to make comments in the margins. Sort of an old school version of a discussion forum, eh...without reading a word I hooked...
I then turned the page to 'spring swan' and death ran down my throat like a mouse...so it goes...
Glad to be here... BD
