every morning I wake up and read one published poem by charles bukowski and it really sets me up for the day. have never believed in my own abilities more. a beautiful espresso shot of spite
if a man can publish a poem about how a 35 year old woman is gross and embarrassing and worthless because he didn't think she was fuckable, then frankly I can write as many poems about the sea as I like
reading bukowski for the first time. finding it very inspiring, in that it's inspiring me to stop agonising over whether my poems are "good" and instead publish whatever the fuck I want
