The Bukowski Richmond Letters (1 Viewer)

[Pogue Mahone]

I know there is a section somewhere around this drunken alley where letters are posted, but I'm not sure if a sub-normal like me is allowed to post there. So, please move as appropriate.

I think I have all the Buk letters in the proposed "Letters to a Young Poet" concept that never happened. And unlike the BSP "letters" books, they include the entire text -- not abbreviated.

Buy the way, these are photocopies, so please don't break into my fucking home thinking I'm sitting on a hundred grand. And I'm sure there was plenty of color in the original drawings.

"Steve, that I've gotten a couple of books published has nothing to do with it. I could now get broad and easy imagining that I have scope or some damn thing. it won't work."

"You got bugs working in you. Congradulations. and I've got to stop crying about my age and my hard luck."

Modesty and self-awareness that we should all have when we're ferly fairly drunk now.

Great letter. Someday, there ought to be a book of the Bukowski-Richmond letters. It's good to read even one of them.

You can read (a few dozens) more here, while you wait for a book.

I have copies of his last notebooks, his latest poems or gagaku or whatever. I'll scan them soon if you are interested.

 

[Purple Stickpin]

Yes, please (with sugar on top).

The note books are a bit delirious and repetitive but still wrote til the end. By that time he was seriously ill. Very soon with sugar. I have no scanner.
