Published in 1965, Wormwood 18 features the Charles Bukowski poem:
American Express, Athens, Greece.

The poem would not be published again until 1988 when it appeared in The Roominghouse Madrigals.

There is also an announcement of a forthcoming Bukowski book titled, Poems Written Before Jumping Out Of An 8 Story Window. The announcement says the book would be published by Mad Virgin Press in 1965, but would not actually come out until 1968 when Poetry X/Change would finish the project.

Only 600 copies were printed, this one being copy 422.

This copy is in Near Fine condition with some light creases to the over sized covers. The blue cover is still remarkably vibrant 60 years later.

Charles Bukowski always felt Wormwood Review was the best small magazine out there and was grateful that they were one of the first to recognize his work. In return, Bukowski continued to contribute to the magazine right up until his death in 1994.
