Don't get me wrong, I'm glad this version is getting the recognition it deserves, but it's not the style y'all are known for. I was really excited to see a video on Buk, but I was a little disappointed it was a re-upload and not a typical "Blank on Blank" video.

His legend has definitely grown. But personally I'd stick with the many, many books he put out during his lifetime. Some of the posthumous stuff--and there's been A LOT of posthumous stuff--you can kind of see why he didn't bother putting them out while he was alive. Some of it I have my doubts if he even wrote it. I mean, dude was a publishing madman. Book after book. He was always putting stuff out. How do they, decades after his death, keep finding all this unreleased stuff? I can see maybe a volume or two, stuff he never got around to putting in a collection. But there's been like literally a dozen books of poetry put out since his death. Where the fuck is this stuff coming from? Nobody, not even Bukowski, hit a home run every time. The best unreleased stuff obviously would've been in the first posthumous book. Eventually John Martin or whoever was taking any scrap of paper Bukowski wrote on and making a poem out of it, I think. Stick with the stuff the man himself put out. Can never go wrong there.

Western media of course doesn't cover any of that, because then they have to admit, that they were allies with criminals in ww2.

This piece of art is so addictive that I come here very often.

Generally, I find Bukowski a pretty good writer-especially his poetry, very common tongue like Raymond Carver. What's unfortunate is that so many post-modernist "poets" today (a majority on Instagram and Tumblr) seem to have a very shallow view of his work, and so they just dawdle on the same bullshit of "I'm tortured, lonely, drunk" blah blah blah. Bukowski wrote about that stuff, but he was really always reaching into something else-he didn't write about being drunk for the sake of writing about being drunk, he did it to reveal our felt necessity to numb our selves. All the post-modernist poets think that to be a poet you need to have a typewriter and a bottle of Jack, maybe some heartbreak to spice. Garbage.

"I have a broken heart". It's just unintelligent, completely disregarding of the reader, and stagnant. Post-Modern art is just another attempt by "artists" to lower the bar, once again, on what makes something art.

@NorthWestLax01

7 жыл бұрын

Post-modernism wasn't about saying "lowering the bar," it was about deconstructing notions of absolute truth, objectivity and reason. So yes post-modernist artists were less obsessed with "craft" but this was to subvert norms that had formed within modernism and stifled creativity. They knew exactly what they were doing by engaging "lower" forms of art. Would you say John Ashbery's poetry is unintelligent? Or any of the New York School's? Or the Beats for that matter? I also study and write poetry. I also hate the shit that gets posted on Instagram. But you're using an incredibly important movement to label people who simply have no idea what they're doing. They aren't subverting anything, they're just inexperienced and unwilling to dive deeper within themselves for an ounce of originality.

@ZombieKilla2008

7 жыл бұрын

NorthWestLax01 No, I wouldn't call any of those poets (The Beats, NY, John) unintelligent. The difference here is they still deployed craft in their work; a consequence of post-modernism is the lowering of the bar we see in the arts-it makes it out as all being much more relative than it actually is. If post-modernists are so big on stepping away from things like reason and the search for absolute truth, then they must hate Shakespeare, and Whitman, and so on. What is there to salvage in post-modernism is the movement itself trashes the very things that make art what it is (the marriage of truth and beauty, and the search for them)?

Discovering Charles Bukowski is one of the best things to happen in one's life.

I like this idea that a crappy life fuels the wheels of creativity, My favourite Bukowski adage - "Bad luck for the young poet would be a rich father, an early marriage, an early success, or the ability to do anything well". Yep, I missed my vocation. He might have added - "Good luck would be a strong liver". Ha!

I found Bukowski as a kid, and in highschool I discovered it was 'cool' to like Bukowski, and all these truly stupid people would talk to me about the drinking and the sex, and it pissed me off because I felt like they were totally missing the point. I quit reading him for over a decade. I would just tell people I didn't like him anymore just to avoid having to hear their opinions on the subject. Then one day I randomly found an old copy of South of no North, and it blew my mind. Then I found hot water music (personal favorite) and straight up fell in love again. He presents philosophical concepts in dark ways, ways I, as a grown alcoholic man, can relate to on a deep psychological level. It is true art. The screwing and drinking are only a frame for the philosophical punch that can be found in almost all his stories...

people who have never been outcasted because of their skin & driven into isolation & loneliness would never be able to fully understand part of Buk's personality. It molded him into the man he was, which made him come off as "insane" because that loneliness became his muse. He adapted to it & turned that suffering into art. There's nothing pretentious about him. He was smart & he knew it, so what? He should've felt proud of that. He knew he was good, for all the other things he was insecure about, the fact he knew he was good at something is a beautiful thing & people really shouldn't criticize him for that.

I love Charles Bukowski's work. "Dinosauria, We" is my personal favorite. This man is on another level.

"And there will be the most beautiful silence never heard" That is one of my faves by him also. Also "Bluebird".

Feel free to share more about Dirty Old Man with us, he really is one of the greats.

Got so excited when i saw the title of this vid

I watched again. LOVE IT

If you'd like my two cents, I think a lot of the problems with the younger poets, as Buk himself said, was that they just want to be famous. Buk really lived the life he talks about. They have a gin and tonic and call themselves alcoholics. He had said, "The poets come with their blameless, tame verse" and I think there's where they lose me with their poetry slam ethic of performing and posing, where Buk's reading were just him sitting at a table with a bottle of wine and an ashtray.

J G Rap is an acronym for Rhythm and Poetry so even tho most “rappers” nowadays are a bunch of fake ass and posers, OP was pretty spot on

J G Ever heard the mock up joke that people thought rap stood for “retards attempting poetry” ? It started from there Besides, the rhythm part is one of the quintessential element to rap And they spit on top of the beat Alot of MCs and old timers incorporated poetry elements(style figures, metaphors, allegories, story telling elements, satire, etc...) Since the music is popular with a big crowd, big pen pushers and disc company are marketing false “artists” to make their living Not trying to back rap or whatever but you’re fucking retarded if you just deny the objective factors to the whole thing Whether you like it or not

Gonna slightly disagree, slam poetry is definitely separate from regular poetry readings. Slam poetry emphasizes word play, body language, rhythm, and breathing in a way regular poetry doesn’t. Modern poetry still sucks, but don’t blame slam poets (they’re actually some of the better ones)

Scott Brillon I mean that’s fine it’s just understanding slam poetry is a separate entity from regular poetry and it’s a bit silly to speak on the subject when you’re obviously unfamiliar with it.

I love the style and the lack of music. Really pushes through his thoughts. Thanks for this great video !

Of the few "celebrities" I love, I love Bukowski the most. Not because of the poetry, or the drinking, but because he was so obviously committed to being himself, against all the odds life could throw at him.

You,ve got that bang on. He retreated or gave up on being his own person.He saw that life for some was something to drag yourself throw. And they never question . WHY?

I feel the same dam way dammmiitttt. Thank you. At least i know im not alone. Finally someone verbalizes it. Bless you brother.

He and a lot of other people (authors, artists, and singers) got so much more powerful after they died, it’s crazy to think about how unappreciated people are until their dead. Humans - crazy things.

i love this video. i watch it every now and then just to feel alive

It’s wonderful that there is no music competing with the voice. Thank you. ☘️🌝🌲

This is brilliant, the animation is perfect.

A fantastic animation for my favorite writer. Absolutely wonderful job

Brilliantly done, and what a muse to pick - Buk the man.

Bukowski's carefree attitude. That's what I aspire to have.

Bukowski was utterly contemptuous of anyone who aspired to have what he had.

I'm a broke artist living in a crappy rental, and I love it! I don't envy the life of a single one of my friends. Hope I never make it, it's probably gonna make me miserable🤣

I read his book about Hollywood, you come away thinking it's some kind of lunatic asylum. Enjoyed it.

Beautiful Soul of Charles Bukowski 🕊️

You guys should animate the only known audio footage of Nick Drake speaking, that'd be awesome!

That's how I feel about my songs. Just looking forward to next one..forget about old ones

So glad I found this channel an absolute gem

Waaao what a piece. I love Bukowski.❤️ You have made an awesome piece. Great work of Art.

"If you can't write the next line, you're dead... the past doesn't matter."

I like how he talks about quitting his job to write and he was ready to be on skid row because he was tired of it all.

This is the most beautiful video that I have ever watched in my entire life

This is amazing! Thank you KZread recommendations! 😍😍

There's a lot more wisdom in this video than most people realize. The part where he said: "they figured I was dumb, too dumb to steal, so they took me". Most people blame managerial incompetence on the Peter principle, but that's not usually the problem. People are afraid of being replaced, so the higher ups will often hire people who are not capable of replacing them and then the people they hired do the exact same thing and then each level of management becomes a little more incompetent than the one above them and by the time you reach middle management you have these complete simpletons who barely understand anything, so when you're in an interview you might want to hold back a little bit and not show off in front of the person who's interviewing you, just show them that you can do the job and you're willing to work. But if you're talking to the boss, someone who cannot be replaced, then give it everything you got, blow them away with your abilities. Long story short, "never underestimate the power of being non-threatening".

"Bukowskis growing old, this coffees getting cold"

Thank you so much for this.

i adore this series

one of my favorite poets.

"I have one of two choices - stay in the post office and go crazy ... or stay out here and play at writer and starve. I have decided to starve." - Bukowski

Awesome! Thanks Blank On Blank for the Interview.

That was very well done thank you!!
