"The writer has no responsibility", how true.! Heres's a little Buk to piss off the wannabe writer. “don’t be like so many writers, don’t be like so many thousands of people who call themselves writers, don’t be dull and boring and pretentious, don’t be consumed with self- love. the libraries of the world have yawned themselves to sleep over your kind. don’t add to that.

[@keliusher-holmes2165]

I like listening to his view. His poems have given me so much

[@jonnysloffy]

“Writing a poem is like beer shit” I love that analogy! It was totally unexpected too. What he’s going to say next is very unpredictable and that’s what I like about him. I’m just discovering this guy now at the age of 39! I’m looking forward to reading some of his work. I like that wasn’t afraid to say he doesn’t like some of the work that you’re supposed to like so that you can be accepted and thought of as intelligent. It’s almost as though you are not allowed to critique some work. I think many people pretend to like and understand Shakespeare and Tolstoy etc as to appear intellectual. You need to be honest and say what you think about books, movies, plays etc.

[@aPandorasboxofmusic]

I love that people see poetry as this beautiful, sacred thing and would likely opt to use a metaphor with more "pretty" imagery to describe it than that, but here is one of the greats comparing it to one of the less mentioned bodily functions. And it works perfectly. Excellent.

Buk got me through some hard times in the '80s. I wrote and starved in a two-room apartment under a 100-year-old funeral home while the rats danced in the walls and the ceiling dripped into a plastic barrel. I wrote Buk a letter, but never mailed it. Too bad. He probably would've answered. Now it's too late.

[@ludlow3d]

He might have answered it. I am a visual artist and, at one point, there was a huge studio available above a funeral home. I decided to respect my unknown limits and not rent it. So closely linked to Buke is Tom Waits. I did write him, in the 1980s. Wanted to use one of his songs in a small theatrical presentation. He was very gracious, friendly, and generous.

CHARLES BUKOWSKI'S SPIRIT SPEAKING In the gritty details, where souls collide, Beauty's an extraordinary beast to ride. Couldn't beat that truth, so I fought on, Wrestling with thoughts, tears streaming strong. I ground those tears, every damn notion, In the arena of my relentless devotion. Sought meaning, dug deep in my mind's dirt, Struggled through the trenches, not one to skirt. Yeah, it's the soul's nitty-gritty, the raw affair, That makes beauty shine, I swear and declare. In every scar, every gritty fragment I found, A damn extraordinary tale would resound. That universal truth, it had me pinned, But I brawled and bled, wouldn't let it win. Tears and thoughts, a cacophony in my head, Bukowski-style, I fought till they bled. So take those tears, let 'em soak the page, Unleash 'em, ignite the poet's raging rage. Embrace the details, don't shy from the brawl, For it's in the fight, we find beauty's call. Yeah, let this poem bear the Bukowski mark, With grit and truth, a poetic spark. In the trenches, amid the tears that flow, Discover extraordinary beauty, don't let it go. :: 06.02.2023 ::
