About this Item

Published in 1962 by EPOS magazine, Poems and Drawings was billed as an Extra issue, but most consider it to be Charles Bukowski s sixth book. This copy is signed by Bukowski with what looks like a later signature. EPOS: A Quarterly of Poetry was a journal edited by Evelyn Thorne and Will Tullos out of Cresent City, Florida. The first issue appeared in Fall 1949 and was published until the 1970s. Bukowski would appear in 12 issues of EPOS between 1959 and 1970. While Bukowski respected the editors for publishing consistently on time compared to other small presses, he didn t care for the poems they published. The poems in the early issues of EPOS have a slightly different style, with Bukowski attempting to fit in to get published. In addition to the poems listed below, there are three printed drawings, two of which are also quite different in style from other Bukowski drawings. They have an almost antiquity feel in their composition. This copy is in Very Good ++ condition with small bumps and and a tiny chip to the oversized covers. There appears to be some light damp stains along the spine on both covers and some overall general wear. One staple has split from a page, but the binding is still solid. See pics.
