At Terror Street and Agony Way

Recordings from an open reel tape of Charles Bukowski reading his poetry. I was able to source the digital audio records, compiled and entered into a database and presented at the official site – bukowski.net.

The audio on the SoundCloud playlist, along with the 'missing files', will form part of our class study. If you are registered for the appreciation and writing courses, you are eligible for the elevated access.
