Title: "d.n.f." - manuscript poem signed by Charles Bukowski Author: Bukowski, Charles Place: Los Angeles Publisher: Date: June 27, 1974 Description: Carbon copy of a typed poem, signed and dated by Bukowski in ink, with 1 ms. correction and an original ink sketch. Published in "The Flash of Lightning Behind the Mountain" - p.121 (2004). Bukowski cleverly combines death, sex and how we are scooped up and hauled away when we no longer can work, this is a very rare poem (perhaps the only poem) with an original sketch of a dead horse under a sun drawn by Buk usually reserved for select letters he wrote; "d.n.f." may be a tote board notation for “dead, never finished” or “did not finish”. Charles Bukowski’s practice during this period was to type the poem with a carbon copy, sign and date the carbon and send it to his publisher. With letter of authenticity from Scott Harrison at Abandoned Planet Bookstore. Lot Amendments Condition: Paperclip mark at upper left corner; Item number: 216755
