When the scars of youth become the marks of character (1 Viewer)

[mjp]

Anyone ever heard of this?
Listing says it was a Caffeine insert in '94, but I've never seen it.

yeah, first time I've seen this one, too. It probably had a very short life... and those tribute issues never were my cup of tea... Caffeine published quite a few B poems in the early 90's, but this is a truly rare item.

Let's hope Jeffrey dusts off more rare items soon...

I figured someone would take it for the "Buy It Now" price, whether I posted about it here or not. ;)

I'm wondering if that ever made it past the planning stages. Unless someone has a finished copy they can tell us about, I'm going to assume it didn't. Caffeine was not a small mag, it had wide distribution in Los Angeles, so I would think many, many copies of this would have been floating around if it was ever produced...

Hey, Bill,

Really a great title! Does anybody know if this is a Bukowski-line?

 

[mjp]

Doesn't sound like Bukowski to me. My guess is it's from one of the tribute poems in the booklet. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

yawl
when a wound heals the scar tissue is sometimes called "proud flesh"
perhaps the 'title' is a take-off on the old ways...yet it sounds of bukowski - i'll wager he coined the 'scars of youth line' -
