| Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row by Thunder's Mouth Press Bottomfeeders, etc |
| This collection doesn't particularly slice the melon for me. Some decent recollections, a few self-important remembrances, a blast of bad tribute poetry here and there. Go read Factotum, instead |
| Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row by Thunder's Mouth Press stories of henry |
aside from some poems that either copied bukowski's style or were pretty much just bad--the book has some interesting stories
overall henry was probably a pretty much a peice of sh@#t
but his writings shine thru |
| Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row by Thunder's Mouth Press pretty damn decent tribute |
Like the other guy said: If you like Buk you'll enjoy this book. Gives you more insight/perspective.
Also, be warned, a small portion contains some awful poetry written by some of these same folks who knew the man. Definitely worth having for your collection, though. Good deal. Read it twice already. The book almost brings Buk back to us. |
| Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row by Thunder's Mouth Press Nice collection |
| Some nice essays in here some really bad poetry (not Buk's, of course) and some good little interviews. Sheds a little more light on the The Man. Definetly worth a read, go for it. |
| Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row by Thunder's Mouth Press If you love Buk, you'll love this tribute |
| If you don't love Buk, get the hell out of here. |
| Drinking with Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row by Thunder's Mouth Press Product Description |
The 20th century's greatest poet was a guy from L.A. called Hank, who talked straight, drank hard, faced truth, and exposed beauty and vulnerability like no other in his place and time. Drinking with Bukowski is a celebration of that utterly original voice featuring contributions from everyone from the women who loved him to the Hollywood cognoscenti who courted him, from writers who admired him and actors who tried to emulate him to the barflies, strippers, gangsters, poets, crazies, and dreamers who knew him: Raymond Carver, Wanda Coleman, Harold Norse, Michael C. Ford, and Paul Vangelisti pay homage and recount the Dionysian days of L.A. poetry; record producer Harvey Robert Kubernik and journalist Barry Miles remember capturing Buk on vinyl for the first time; novelist Steve Abee remembers the early days of L.A.'s underground newspapers - Open City and the L.A. Free Press - Bukowski's early stomping grounds. |
