Ode to Bukowski....

“I don't like jail, they got the wrong kind of bars in there”
-
Charles Bukowski

Aw,Bukowski.Americas dirty poet.I do love him and I hope you do too.I've been reading a bit more of his writings lately.Reading is a lost art when you have 2 small children.Well...reading something other than the Cat in the Hat 10 times in a row that is.I often accept functioning off 3 hours of sleep to stay up until the wee small hours of the morning to get some adult literature in.By adult I mean non-nursery rhymes not like XXX rated!

I found some neat Bukowski items or Bukowski themed items on etsy that I thought I'd share with you all.

  3. I love Bukowski. He's our small town hero. Even though he's major.

  4. I recently read about Bukowski and realized I hadn't read him and need to. Your post confirms this. Synchronicity.
