Drinking With Bukowski: Recollections of the Poet Laureate of Skid Row

Rating:
Summary: stories of henry
Review: 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

Rating:
Summary: If you love Buk, you'll love this tribute
Review: If you don't love Buk, get the hell out of here.

Rating:
Summary: pretty damn decent tribute
Review: 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.

Summary: pretty damn decent tribute
Review: 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.

Summary: Bottomfeeders, etc
Review: 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
