The Bluebird broadside was issued for friends of the Black Sparrow Press on the occasion of the San Francisco Bay Area Book Festival in 1991.
Supposedly 3,000 copies of the broadside were printed, but it’s one of the rarer Black Sparrow broadsides, perhaps because the poem is so popular. The broadside measures approximately 9.5” x 13”.
It came from estate of Red Stodolsky, owner of Baroque Book Store and a close friend of Charles Bukowski.
This copy is in Near Fine-minus condition with a light crease on the upper left and another light horizontal crease near the line “and it’s nice enough to” in the poem.
Designed by Barbara Martin and printed by Graham Mackintosh
One of Bukowski’s most quoted poems.

Beautiful copy, very satisfied
I ordered this for my mum, who loves Buk so much that he was a household name in our house growing up. She has all of his works (apart from post office which she lent out and was never returned). I wanted to treat her to something special and this shop is the very place to get the perfect gift for her. It was shipped the same day and arrived to the UK and was delivered in less than a week. I’m extremely impressed and my mum is thrilled to have something which he has held and signed. sending so much love to The Buk Shop team.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful note and picture of his grave. I will cherish it until the day I die<3
What I like about collecting books is the people you meet along the way! Thanks for filling a gap in my collection and delivering it quickly and safely, along with the great communication. I’ll check back often…
Third time I ordered at the Buk Shop. As always, the order was meticulously packed. Great communication upfront. The items arrived quickly in Europe within a few days, without any hassle.
Book was as described and arrived quickly. Bukshop was very helpful throughout the process and very considerate.
Tutto perfetto, spedizione, comunicazione ed ovviamente l'opera d'arte scelta!! Consiglio per chi ama Buk
Was more than happy with Whoreson Dog. Also the extras the Buk Store included with my purchase. Thanks!
The internet needs more places like this! Item described perfectly, which is tough to do for books.
Just as advertsied. Thanks for these special items - love the shop.
I've been collecting books for decades, and am totally in awe of some of the offerings from The Buk Shop. Plus, the owner, Mike, cares how we finicky collectors feel about perfection. A place to visit if you have any interest in Hank Bukowski. Paul
This was my first experience buying something from The Buk Shop and I am extremely satisfied with everything! The price, the prompt shipping service, the nice and neat packaging, the communications via email with the shop. I cannot recommend this shop highly enough. If you are a fan of Bukowski's work (as I am), then this is the number 1 place to shop!

I would like to thank the owner of this lovely Bukshop, who helped us, through bunch of obstacles, get this work of art over the ocean and into our hands.
Thank you Mike for your amazing work!
