Sure: The Charles Bukowski Newsletter.
Homeland CA: E.L. Smith, 1991.
"Sure, is a journal devoted to Charles Bukowski. It began as 'The Charles Bukowski Newsletter,' and
the first issue was published in May, 1991. Over the years it has gone through some changes. Originally the
thin zine-like journal was put out three time per year but recently the format has changed. It is now much
thicker and published annually. With its eclectic mix of photos, posters, poems by Bukowski and about
Bukowski, articles about the man and about the man's work, sure, is an excellent resource for Bukowski
scholars as well as regular Bukowski fans."
