Joan Jobe Smiths book is a joy A terrific, sweet, loving book--the interviews, everyones reminiscences, the poems & Fred Vosss, the First Bukowski Festival--a moving, endearing Love Song, the kind of thing that happens at funerals when people stand and spontaneously tell stories filled with their love & memories. A book full of heart, Joans own love for Bukowskis girlfriends, her own large spirit makes her the perfect hostess for this festival & whenever she speaks of herself its with self-effacing & humorous humility. Her sweetness & goodness permeates the whole book. Im moved on every page. STEVE KOWIT, author of The First Noble Truth(University of Tampa Press, 2007)
