Here's a piece on Bukowski made by Ben Pleasants, published in The Wormwood Review #64 (1976):

 

[Pogue Mahone Athbheoim]

It's actually a great piece. Pleasants appears to be really self-aware about the experience and it provides a great inside look into meeting the actual man and the mythe -- all at once. I don't think any other writer came close.

It's too bad he didn't get hit by a bus directly after dropping it off at the post office.
