Bukowski Tapes



Getting back into Bukowski and stumbled upon a string of YouTube posts of his poetry and interviews here.


Incredible how much output this guy had considering he wasn't very active in his early years and seems to have spent most of his waking life drunk or drinking, even during interviews and performances. A crafted, schtick-ish element to that persona, perhaps. Still impressive.

I have a couple of Bukowski readings if you're interested. Can definitely recommend one, haven't gotten round to the other yet.

Poems & Insults is the one I can definitely recommend. I also have King of Poets, haven't gotten to all of it yet. They're both on my buddy Michael's blog, here:

a site well worth checking out for numerous reasons.
I'll try to remember and get you at least P&I this week.
