Published in 1957, Bukowski’s poems in Quixote 13 mark only his 12th known appearance in a literary magazine.

The poems include:

Poem For Personnel Managers
As The Sparrow

Poem For Personnel Managers would appear in five Bukowski books, including Longshot Pomes for Broke Players (1961), The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills (1969), Run With the Hunted (1993), Heat Wave (1995), and The Pleasures of the Damned (2007),

As The Sparrow would appear in The Days Run Away Like Wild Horses Over The Hills (1969) and Essential Bukowski: Poetry (2016).

Also a great period biography in the Contributors section.

This copy is in Very Good ++ condition with a price tag remanent that affects the title, some rubbing to the front and rear covers, some oxidation from a staple is slightly visible on both covers, and there’s a bump on the upper right corner that impacts several pages.

Overall, a very nice copy of this uncommon poetry journal edited by Jean Rikhoff out of Devonshire, England.
