Whats your all time favorite poem of his?

I previously asked for what you considered his most vulnerable love poem, but if you were asked to save 1 poem while the rest got erased from history... what would you pick? I struggle with deciding a favorite so I want to see if someone has one that I might agree with. He has so many!

Bukowski's Alter Egos

Hi, everyone.

I'm trying to compile a list of the alter egos Bukowski used in his work. So far, I've only been able to find these: Henry Chinaski, Charley Serkin, Larry Jansen, Gordon and Nick Belane (I'm not sure if he counts as alter ego).

Help me if you know more!

Happy birthday! Unlike all those bot posts we get, today would actually be his 106th birthday. August 16 1920.

For some of you it might already be the 17th but anyways , happy birthday. Here's some ive loved lately. Last one is from Ham On Rye.

streaming Bukowski

Apple Music has a lot of of his poetry readings released to stream, and some released albums, of readings also.
Does anybody else know where to get any readings of his?

His voice is oddly comforting, and the way he reads his poetry is perfect.

edit: I know there are some on YouTube

Hostage is my favorite of his readings. The production is all around perfect
