Title: "the glory days" - manuscript poem signed by Charles Bukowski Author: Bukowski, Charles Place: San Pedro, CA Publisher: Date: June 18, 1990 Description: 2 pages. A photocopy of a typed poem, signed and dated in ink by Bukowski. Unpublished. This is a description of the period Bukowski quit writing and dedicated the subsequent decade to drinking and survival. These years of alcoholic bingeing shared with the older Jane Cooney Baker, whom he met in 1946, constitute the major portion of the “barfly” years (here described as the glory days) upon which most of the Bukowski myth has been built. Charles Bukowski’s practice during this period was to type the poem, make a photocopy, sign and date the photocopy and send it to his publisher. With letter of authenticity from Scott Harrison at Abandoned Planet Bookstore. Lot Amendments Condition: Fine condition. Item number: 216709
