L.A. Weekly December 7, 1979 – Bukowski Photos, Poems, Critical Analysis

This issue featured Charles Bukowski on the cover and a two-page spread with an additional photo, poems and poem excerpts, and a feature on the poet and his work.

The poems include:

• Zoo
• Trouble with Spain (excerpt)
• Shot of Red-Eye (excerpt)
• Some Picnic
• Who In The Hell Is Tom Jones?
• Palms (excerpt)

All the poems appeared in Burning in Water Drowning in Flame and Love is a Dog From Hell.

The issue is notable for the front page photo of Bukowski hugging a typewriter. It was taken by Jules Bates and copies were sold by Red Stodolsky, owner of Baroque Book Store, for many years.

This copy is in Very Good condition with a split in the center of the main fold impacting the front page, but remains fairly solid. Usual browning.
