- Bukowski in the Bathtub by Philomene Long
Recollections of Charles Bukowski (between the years 1965 and 1971) by Beat poet John Thomas. Bukowski called John Thomas "the Iceman of the Arts, the invisible genius of American poetry." Timothy Leary has described Philomene Long as having "more sensitivity than the antennae of all the cockroaches in the cosmos." This sense and sensibility are brought to the book, which is based on the Thomas/Bukowski visits and conversations during that period.

O"Neil, author of American HIgh: The years of Confidence 1945-1960.
