[@jackgrant9301]

Bukowski is my favourite poet. I sometimes write poetry too, and i find it interesting, because the way he describes writing is exactly how it is for me. I feel like my hands come alive on the keyboard, like spiders. I dont show my stuff to anyone and i dont really like reading it, but i sure do enjoy writing it.

[@armadillo1231]

Show it. Read it. Be happy you were given the gift to write and enjoy it. It comes from somewhere else.

ryan olson. this is right after he had tuberculoses ı believe. 6 months of antiboticks, and, no alcohol. he was still righting.

[@Al-ou3so]

@@vladavasiljev He never lied about his lifestyle. Just look at pictures of him when he’s young. That will tell you he aged fairly quickly due to alcoholism, being a drifter, and smoking. Bukowski lived a decadent lifestyle where he rebelled against yuppie culture. It was only until he struck lucky in his late 40s when a publisher consistently published his work. Certain stories he wrote about are probably embellished. But his hard living as a young man to middle aged is very true. Has it not occurred to you that certain people will make lies up/false allegations about artists in order to bring them down?

Buk books got me through a tough time in my life i lost my job then my house became homeless could not get a job anywhere .the country was in a recession his books and poetry were Like a life raft for me I remember how I came a across his book like it was yesterday it was a freezing winter day being homeless you try to find somewhere you can go to keep warm with little or no expense I had being going to a little cafe run by two ladies who were always really understanding of what I was going through they let me use there facilities in the morning before they would open to keep myself presentable as I was going for interviews for jobs (when you go for jobs when you are homeless employers can smell your desperation) but things we're not working out so one morning the ladies said to me that I look cold all the time my jacket was not one you would wear in the winter so they gave me a bag saying it belongs to a friend of there's but he had left it behind in it was a jacket and a few other bits and pieces later on I tried on the jacket and it had a copy of women in it's pocket the next week or so I read that book about 3 times and then I found his other books and his poetry bukowski has made me laugh made me cry he has made me think when times are hard in the grand scheme of things it ain't so bad 2 months after reading women I got a job it was hard holding down a job being homeless trying To save up to get a deposit for a flat but I always had bukowski Right oh and the funny thing is I got a job in the post office Dee✌️👍👀

Amazing to see him so old (apart from the final 1992 video footage reading on YT before he went to hospital until death) and still so lucid speaking good after probably thousand of madness and drunk evening.

I thought I’d seen everything on Bukowski that was on KZbin, but this is a new one. This was really late in his life. He only lived until 94’, so this must’ve been early 90’s late 80’s.

[@TheNeverposts]

Bukowski on Henry Miller... Well that was spot on. He never misses a shot, it's fucking crazy

[@screaminskullpress2714]

+zer o That was not spot on, Bukowski is Miller lite!

[@TheNeverposts]

were you reading when your eyes went over the pages?

[@TheNeverposts]

in my view the basic difference is in what Bukowski used to call 'guts'. I'm yet to talk to someone who's realized this, but Bukowski has a very well defined and systematized sense of aesthetics in his writing. Where Bukowski presents you with the situation and forces you to experience what's happening to stir your guts, Miller drifts away into random sensory imagery. That being said I think Miller's images can be remarkable, but in a sense just as simple and accurate, they lack guts. In essence, that's what he means here by 'flat', they're like a sense of wonder that can't really leave you light-headed.

[@jasonr3862]

SCREAMIN SKULL PRESS you again? Why are you so pressed to criticize someone's opinion on this issue? Fuck Henry Miller

[@GoGetter18]

Amazing!!! I am a huge Buk's fan!!!!Ive learnt so much from this guy!! Cant believe I encountered this video!! thank you very much!! It shows Hank's inner beautiful side that is hardly to be found in any other footages!!

[@Misserbi]

I bought a copy of "Tropic of Cancer" and intended to read it through from beginning to end but I never could get past the first chapter. I agree some writers are a hard effort. I kept the book for over 10 years and finally realized I was ritually returning to it like it was a holy book? I watched the Rip Torn movie version and was done attempting to read it.

[@henrycharlesbukowski_]

I stayed almost 2 years on the 2 Tropic, they're bad shit. You read that books and it seems like you get scammed. Now, I'm gonna read John Fante's book "Wait Until Spring, Bandini". Fante is someone who deserve to get read, not Miller.

Минуя ухабы, скамеек плоты, кабачные музыки, драки и брань, блюющие, певчие, ржущие рты, забывшие всю перейдённую грань. Не счастья ищу, а дешёвую дверь, где похоть и мерзости так откровенны, творожную дырку, подгнившую щель, в походке каких варикозные вены. Я рыскаю подлых, наколотых дам, избитых, одетых в вонючие тряпки, в которых абсент, кокаин и "Агдам", какие лохматы, в платке, а не в шляпке. ... И вот отыскал одну змей-поводырь! В безумии сдёрнув халат, панталоны, внедряюсь в неё, как в занозную дырь, в широко-бугристо-подсохшее лоно, как в сучий пушок от пупка до спины, меж ног исцарапанных, битых вожжою... Не чувствую зла, отвращенья, вины. Хоть я и красив, но поганен душою...

i agree with him on Henry Miller. A bore. He sucks. I cant get into his books either. There is nothing brilliant about Miller at all. I was bummed out when i tried to read Tropic of Cancer. Its garbage and I never tried to read much more than that. Bukowski was right on with that statement and Im glad Im not the only person who feels that way. Buke is genius. Amazing.

[@screaminskullpress2714]

+NoRosesForMe Only in today's short attention span world would Henry Miller be considered a bore - Bukowski writes at a grade 8 level and is praised for simplicity, yet everything he ever wrote about Miller wrote before him - with more grace, ability and depth that Bukowski could ever dream of...Bukowski is a poor man's Henry Miller, anybody that knows anything about literature, knows that -

SCREAMIN SKULL PRESS No, Henry Miller is the rich man's Bukowski. And that's not a good fucking thing.

[@727skydivers]

[@screaminskullpress2714]

Sorry kids, and I am a Bukowski fan, but Bukowski loved Henry Miller, and was intimidated by him - Kitasenju2 comment was correct - this interview was resentment by Buk and not at all what he thought about Miller in private.. Any biography on Buk, and I have read a few, will support this. And by the way - Henry Miller is one of the greatest writers of the 20th century. Without him, there would be no Bukowski. He was writing about the same things Buk was, with much more style and courage, 30 years before him, when writing about these things was not done, and in some places, actually illegal. And when he did go further than the street writing, that was fantastic! He stretched his wings and refused do just repeat and repeat, over and over, his last book was nothing at all like his first book, that is talent and growth! Tropic of Cancer is widely considered one of the greatest books of the 20th century...Buk was great, but never accomplished what Miller did, and anyone that knows anything about literature will agree with that....

[@azzouzhassan8721]
