Published in 1975, Purr 2 features the only appearance of two Bukowski poems:
It Works Like Liquid Snot Coming Out Of Fire Hoses
My Lucky Friend
The poems have yet to be published again.
Bukowski also contributes a couple of drawings.
Contributors include Lyn Lifshin, Jack Micheline, Nila Northsun, LaRae William, Neeli Cherry, et al.
Purr was published by Linds King, Bukowski’s on-again/-off again/on-again/off-again girlfriend in the early 1970s. The two were in a volatile, intense romance that was later captured in the Bukowski’s novel Women.
Bukowski would appear in Purr issues 1,2,3 and 5.
This copy is in Very Good ++ condition with minor wear and sunning to the covers, and some small bumps.
Overall, a solid copy of this poetry journal published out of King’s apartment on Edgewater Terrace in Los Angeles.
