Looks like ARUNDANKA.

 

[hank solo]

Name looks like Joe LaRoss? Or LaRona? Or LaRose?

Mag title looks like ARUNDANKA or ARUNDANEA.

 

[hoochmonkey9]

Joe LaRosa? I also see ARUNDANKA.

 

[cirerita]

Thanks! I see either ARUNDANKA or AHUNDANKA, but can't find any mag with such a title on Worldcat. Oh, well...

 

[hank solo]

Maybe this guy? (the reviewer)

[cirerita]

Thanks, Hank. I made a search using Joe La Rosa as keyword, and it seems he published a little called ABUNDANZA.

 

[Stavrogin]

Good job to the both of you (cirerita and solo) for sleuthing the info.

everyone who sent me their address was forwarded to the fine folks at PBA.

Hopefully they are planning on printing out a catalog.

Hopefully they are planning on printing out a catalog.

at least as much... The PBA office is in the middle of where an enormous amount of the worlds software is created and they cant produce a spreadsheet or better webapp for customers? fuck their 20% mark up.

I contacted them a few months back regarding the 2007 Bukowski auction. I inquired about the availability of a hardcopy or pdf version of that catalogue. Nada.

 

[bospress.net]

you can find them on ebay from time to time. I may have an extra one around here somewhere. Was that the Groff auction?

[Papillon]

Thanks for the link, d gray. That is the auction I was speaking of. I guess I'm surprised there is no electronic version. However, electronic versions on the site only go back to '09.

 

[hank solo]

Not sure if there is a pdf but you can see the Groff sale items here:-

[bospress.net]

$14.95 is a fair price for that catalog...

 

[mjp]

I was on the list for a catalog for the Groff auction and they sent me the catalog for the auction that followed it. Such are the horrors of real life, I suppose. I cried for days...

 

[Ponder]

they sent me the catalog for the auction that followed it

Was that the Beat Generation auction,
(Gary Snyder et al?) :D

 

[mjp]

Yeah, I think that's the one. It went straight into the garbage can, so I can't check.

 

[bospress.net]

There was also a large Beat & Bukowski PBA auction before Groff. That was the collection of Edwin Blair and it was AMAZING! There was also a catalog after the Groff that had a drawing of Ginsberg on the cover.

Bill

 

[mjp]

I have Blair's copy of Dorbin from that auction, with his lightly penciled notes in all the margins. But I think the catalog I got was the Ginsberg one.

 

[mjp]

Not sure if there is a pdf...

Here it is.

 

[hank solo]

That's the Runfola sale. I was referring to the Groff catalogue.

 

[Pba Galleries]

Though we do not have PDF versions of the catalogue for the Groff sale I can provide you with a text only word document if that would be useful.

 

[hank solo]

Thanks Pba, but it was forum member Papillon who was searching for the catalogue.

Will you be sending out physical catalogues for the Runfola sale?

 

[Pba Galleries]

Thank you for the clarification. The catalogue is currently being printed but should be available early next week at which point we will be sending out hard copies. Some names and addresses have been provided by member bospress.net. You can email me your details at [email protected] and I'll gladly send along once available.

 

[roni]

Is it possible, they've presold some items?
I can't find 'Flower Fist', but am pretty sure it was on their site when they started to post items.

 

[nado]

Roni,

Flower Fist and Bestial Wail: Lot # 48: http://www.pbagalleries.com/search/item217443.php?

 

[Purple Stickpin]

They reassigned Lot #'s after the initial posting of the auction items, so maybe that's why you couldn't find it, roni.

 

[kilgore]

Do people have thoughts/opinions/experiences on whether it's better to make a pre-sale bid, or do the live from your computer bidding thing? Thanks!!

 

[roni]

I see!
Thanks nado and Purple!

I'm a bit slow these days.

 

[bospress.net]

my catalog arrived today. Very cool.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

No sign of a catalog yet.

 

[bospress.net]

I sent them your name with the same list that included mine, so they should have mailed them at the same time...

Bill

 

[roni]

mine arrived today.

 

[willrodgers]

just received my catalog.
thanks to Shannon at PBA.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Yep, mine came as well. With my favorite print on the cover to boot.

 

[Bukfan]

I've just received my catalog too. Thanks, Shannon!

Looks like we might have more info for the Timeline. Check out the letter to Stevenson from "mothers day 1982" on PBA where Buk says he lived on Carondelet in New Orleans and "got a job as an errand boy on the N.O. Item. For less pay than a roach..." He mentions working for the Item also at the end of Longshot Pomes I believe. So we could add this job to the timeline? Early Forties?

 

[mjp]

Yeah, I saw that when I was adding that letter to the site. The Item office was at the corner of Carondelet and Union streets, so that could be a story based in fact, but it's odd that it's mentioned only in a letter. Never in a poem or story - or anywhere else - that I know of.

I am hesitant to add things like that to the timeline without some other kind of verification or corroboration. I wouldn't know where to put it even if I did want to add it, since we don't know exactly when he was in New Orleans.

Most of the items in the timeline are based on more than Bukowski saying that something was so. Because he said a lot of things that were not exactly rooted in the truth. As the kids say.
