I've been interested in him lately after reading "Young and Tender". This isn't a biography but a correction to what others previously wrote about him:

i can only add, "Happy Birthday, William!".

Bukowski seemed to be tired of this fellow, writing (loosely paraphrased): “He was a junkie riding a push bike with some junior college teaching job who couldn’t get it up anymore”. I have never read his stuff, even though I’m sure I have some of his poems in one of my Wormies.

Yes, he did appear in the WR, as well as other publications. Very good point Uncle!
