Joan Jobe Smith's book is a joy A terrific, sweet, loving book--the interviews, everyone's reminiscences, the poems & Fred Voss's, 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, Joan's own love for Bukowski's girlfriends, her own large spirit makes her the perfect hostess for this festival & whenever she speaks of herself it's with self-effacing & humorous humility. Her sweetness & goodness permeates the whole book. I'm moved on every page. STEVE KOWIT, author of The First Noble Truth(University of Tampa Press, 2007)
