Appreciate your friends
I just received this book The Outlaw Poets of American Poetry as a gift. I immediately scanned through it to see who was included and was surprised that Bukowski is not included. He is mentioned several places as someone who influenced some of the chosen contributors, but they did not publish anything by Bukowski.
The book was edited by Alan Kaufman and our dear S.A. Griffin and includes Joan Jobe Smith and several other friends of Bukowski, but not him. Does this mean Bukowski is too mainstream or maybe he is the outlaw of the outlaw poets?
I could not find mention of this book in the forum so if it is already in here....whatever.
