Hi all,
I have a query in this regard, if anyone can shed light?
I'm looking for a published transcription of the Bukowski poem, 'Style', however, there seems to be x2 versions of this poem:
The first one can be heard from this audio here:
(and also seems the most prevalent version on the web - but from unverified sources). The second, is an abridged version that I found in HarperCollins 'Mockingbird Wish Me Luck', published in 2009.
This second version seems heavily edited, and omits a whole verse of the poem!! It seems to really become diluted in this more recent edit.
I'm looking to reproduce the poem but am unsure what the correct version is!?
Is there a consensus on this anywhere, or does anyone know where or if the full version has been published in an official capacity? Further digging (and from the very helpful poem section of this website) I can deduct that it has been previously published in the New York Quarterly review - but I haven't been able to check which version they ran with.
Any help would be much appreciated!
