Excellent posthumous collection.

Loved to hear Buk reflect on his childhood, being a young man, jobs and all kinds of things. One of my favorite poems was a poem called, "the poetry reading." Enlightening because I knew Buk, did a few poetry readings

Lunch Poems by Frank O'Hara
"As far as dead writers go, Frank O'Hara might be a contender for “worst death on record.”

When Mr. O'Hara was 40 years old, just starting to be on the literary scene, he and a group of friends were on Fire Island, in New York, and their vehicle broke " Read more of this review »

"I was told about this book while studying creative writing at Roehampton University, and I’d been looking forward to reading it for years. After that, it was something of anti-climax – good poetry, but not as amazing as I was expecting. Still, Frank " Read more of this review »

“distractions A hornet stings, but does not hurt me Because the beer I am drinking Is man made Well, nature made the hornet And nature made me And we refuse to get along Because I smash him with my shoe, for stinging me And that’s the history of countries made by Man And the history of the world And I am simpleton because I refuse To understand my life Politics and religions cloud me And I am as poor as a hummingbird Only buzzing with sound As the ships of the world crash around me”
Damion Hamilton, The Human Condition: Poems by

“Strange Things       It’s strange the things people say To you The things people do you Which may not have much Significance at the time But on reflection, Days, months, Even years later Have so much significance A strange person coming Into your life at a strange moment Or something good Happening”
Damion Hamilton, Written In Stone

“Lottery Ticket     There’s so much Which goes unheard and unspoken   I watch a woman in a nurse’s uniform Stand in line buying a small stack of lottery tickets   Her voice is tired along with her hair And the back of her scalp   She’s hoping one of those lottery Tickets will serve as a vehicle out Of her job and her life I watch people standing in line Buying those lottery tickets And feel very sad   Waiting”
Damine Hamilton, Internet Poetry

Fyodor Dostoevsky, Notes from Underground, White Nights, The Dream of a Ridiculous Man, and Selections from The House of the Dead

Winston S. Churchill
