Love Bukowski... thanks for the inspiration to dig him out again. As my writing (on another platform) has taken off, I've also started to feel more self conscious about my writing. Drafting a new essay yesterday, I felt bored, dogged by 'the formula' and the spectre of the audience. Here's to freedom and the soul expression!

Yes, yes, yes.

Great piece. Find your true identity and voice and write unapologetically to allow the flow of craziness ease out with flaming love and passion!

Oh Mo! I fu**ing love Charles! I resonate with everything you say! We must write for ourselves. What you seek is seeking you! If you build it, they will come. In the end, we will all find the same people that resonate on that same frequency with us. Your poetry is fu**ing beautiful. Let it flow! As Bukowski said -find what you fu**ing love and let it fu**ing kill you! Die slow. Your words make this world a fu**ing better place. Bless you. 🙏❤️

PS. I didn’t know they had snow mobiles in Africa!

I learned to listen to classical music thanks to bukowski. He did love Mahler though and that just drives me kind of psychotic. Which is probably the point!
