Scott came over with a camera man who owns a fabulous looking movie camera and interviewed me about his mom's relationship with Bukowski. This is an excerpt from about a 33 minute interview which he plans to edit and include in a documentary on all the poets and other people who interacted with Bukowski back in those days. He has heard about Bukowski all his life even though he was not yet born when his mother was with him. But he has helped her sell a number of bronze busts of Bukowski and he has also helped her publish some of her poem books, notably one including all her poems about Bukowski with drawings by Matt Sesow who Scott recruited. In fact Scott is doing a cheaper version than the bronze of the bust to sell to Bukowski lovers. So I was happy to add to the proceedings. He let me set up our camera and film the interview, too, so you get to see an advance peek at the documentary to come.
Fiery Linda in this photo, 20 years younger, a few years before she met Bukowski. You can see why he was quite taken with her, and Linda loved the wild poet, a wordsmith as well as as unpredictable as anyone she had ever known.
