Published in 1995, “Das ist Alles” (a play on German) is a tribute anthology that was published by Joan Jobe Smith of Pearl.
This is the second edition of chapbook. It comes with the Fall 1995 catalog from the press that features the book.
There are many Bukowski drawings and 10 poems that appeared in Pearl between 1975 and 1993.
