Several of the YouTube.com selections chosen for this kinté space collection use low-resolution footage from John Dullaghan’s documentary Bukowski—Born Into This. I can only hope the hope of the captive that Mr. Dullaghan does not see more “wisdom of the crowd” as written by Bukowski here.

To me, not only is this little collection a quick, dirty and effective introduction to the poet and the violent man but it should point serious viewers toward the documentary (also available as Netflix streaming video). You can find my mini-review of the film and some unwanted comments about Bukowski in the rasx() context.
