Brautigan Meets Bukowski

By Scot Young

Brautigan Meets Bukowski captures a legendary friendship (or was it just imagined?) between two outlandish poets of the times Richard Brautigan and Charles Bukowski.
Janis Joplin makes a surprise appearance.
Rules the pool table.
Sings the blues.
Because Young is there you are there. Say "Thank you, Scot "
Young is the biographer fly on the bar. Recording the tectonics of Brautigan's kevlar gossamers and Bukowski's sartorial tailoring of poetry's autograph book as they sit two bar stools apart in Gino & Carlos.
Or, search for dim sum In Chinatown. Or, follow the long runs of trout streams and sexual dreams downhill from North Beach to San Francisco's City Center.
Most of us missed the times, the creative lightning, the weaving of poetry from whole cloth that Young affixes to his pages interspersed with illustrations by F.N. Wright, Rosanna Young, William Taylor, Jr, Abigail Young, and Joycelyne Desforges.
Brautigan Meets Bukowski is not an academic book. It's the real thing brought back through time by Scot Young's homemade jewel tumbler. Hold it in your hands. Feel the energy. Yield to the word virus and know that at one time Poetry was more than enough.

Scot Young got the conversation of these two literary big guys right Thanks
for bringing them back.
--Charles Plymell

Brautigan and Bukowski live-drinking beer, talking poetry-for a few
precious lines in Scot's poems. This small press publication is a masterpiece.
