The updated version of the beat poet / novelist

Thanks for your help

Hi Portable Chaos

A short and succinct entry. I would reccomend you take the last comment out or amend it to something like "He will be sadly missed by many" as the article should be all in the third person as per the writing guidelines. Also, the article doesn't really inspire me to read his stuff. Maybe a couple of pertinent quotes might help in this?

Nice entry though, don't see why it shouldn't make its way into the guide.

Thanks for your help, but unfortunately most of his quotes are not suitable for the guide, but i have found one that is.

Now *that* does inspire me to read his work!

Good article, I don't know any work from Bukowski, but now I am curious... Of course I heard of him, but always as if his only intention was to shock using dirty language (it might have worked some decades ago but who - beside the mods - cares nowdays?)

Yet I miss one or two things: Is the actual date of his birth known?
What about some little chronology on his life?

(I think this kind of information should be included in articles like this)

Hi Portable Chaos, This is the second thread you've created on this entry, the other being http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F48874?thread=107623 Please try not to do this, as it only clogs up Peer Review and they have to be manually deleted - much better to re-post to the old thread, but please only do this after a decent period of time (>2 weeks) has passed. We do look back through the old threads, and this actually makes the Scouting process slower, not faster. Let's close down this thread and make the other one the main one. Thanks, GVI

I would like to say thank you for all your help.

Thanks

P.C.

Don't mention it

We actually removed the other thread from Peer Review, and left this one in, just so you know...

Are there any Bukowski fan sites you could link to on the web? Might be nice...
