Letter from Charles Bukowski to Kirby Congdon Author: Bukowski, Charles Place Published: Los Angeles Date Published: August 29, 1967 Description: Single-page signed typescript letter, with original type-addressed mailing envelope stapled to top corner. A 1967 signed, typescript letter from Bukowski to poet/publisher Kirby Congdon, who served as Gregory Corso's unofficial agent in the early 1960s. Bukowski thanks Congdon for sending along a parody of Bukowski and his writing by "Pollack," though he expresses annoyance with it: "There are many untruths contained -- one of them being the writing style -- but since this is exaggeration it's all right because I know what the author is trying to do. The outright lie is that part where it is inferred that I kept submitting poems to Ed Sanders and kept getting rejected." He goes on to say, "I am really in some type of crappy mental state now and can't seem to move or glow or think -- just a kind of scratching labored existence without a hell of a lot of sense or hope." The letter is signed in pencil, "Buk." Condition: Tear to envelope from opening; letter with mailing folds, light wear and toning, faint foxing; very good.
