Linda King reads her poem about Charles Bukowski

[snarby21]

blah blah blah, bukowski, blah blah blah, beer, blah blah, whiskey, blah blah blah.

Schizophrenic reading of a schizophrenic poem of a woman living on coattails and cobwebs, sipping at the shadows of a great drunk.

burn in hell, bitch.

Original.

@CollectingIdeas if it wasnt for her he wouldnt written some of my fav stuff.

[lonelyfish1]

my name is linda king too

this poem kinda sucks....

[holden1787]

She is a poet, was a poet long before she met Bukowski. You mean to tell me you teach English Lit and would write that pretentious line of bullshit without first gathering your facts? She doesn't have to compare it to anything for it to stand out on its own, you filthy fish cunt.

[zerolubin]

dylanesque - what sort of pretension is that - if your work is as original as your moniker - nothing more to say really...wanker

[zerolubin]

you arrogant twat

[heinzdieterhenn]

but..... ah..... actually it obviously is crap.

Linda King is my (Gerry King's) sister and I was present many times at breakfast as I lived with my sister in L.A. during their last year together and he would stay overnight. I believe that everyone should be allowed to write poetry without being chastized for it. My sister has also written a marvelous memoir about their years together, but nobody is common enough to publish it. She is a writer, folks, whether you like it or not.

@prementity

i didn't know mrs.king had brothers...i only know three sisters which i read in buk's WOMEN...i know she's an artist an a poet

[GerryKing40]

@neuronespecchio Linda King does not have brothers. There were 5 sisters in her family, but one has passed. Perhaps you misunderstood a line. I, Gerry, am her oldest sister. She is the youngest one.

Are you kidding? You know nothing about poetry, my friend, and further more, you know nothing of history. Somewhere, you are sitting bitterly contemplating yourself. Tell me, what does a remark like that do but make you look like a total asshole. Linda King's work stands on its own, however, I don't see your work anywhere--can I find you reading your brilliant poetry somewhere? That's what i thought...
