  • on So You Want To Be A Writer by Charles Bukowski, on April 22, 2006

    great!

    I love this poem. It feels right. But it also feels exclusive. Maybe poetry is? I don't know. Maybe it's not supposed to be read as instructive, though. Maybe, he's just trying to touch inspiration's roots, not say how something should be done. I know other poets say just write and write and write and if you write enough, a poem a day perhaps, you might write enough good poems for a small chapbook by the time you're 90. Maybe.
