Skull Juices -- Doug Blazek Chapbook with Eight-Page Introduction by Charles Bukowski (1970)

Though he wrote novels, short stories and poems, some of Bukowski’s best work came in the form of essays. Anyone who has enjoyed reading Bukowski’s fiction will find these writings just as enjoyable.

For Doug Blazek’s 1970 chapbook Skull Juices, Bukowski wrote a very compelling eight-page introduction on Blazek’s poetry and publishing work.

Blazek published Bukowski in all eight issues of Ole between 1964 and 1967, and was responsible for Bukowski’s return to prose, publishing the chapbooks CONFESSIONS OF A MAN INSANE ENOUGH TO LIVE WITH BEASTS and ALL THE ASSHOLES IN THE WORLD AND MINE.

This copy is in near fine condition with slight wear to the covers and a couple of small bumps. Overall, a very nice copy of this chapbook with poems from one of the mimeograph revolution’s greatest publishers.
