Barfly, Charles Bukowski...

...and soon John Erwiss and friend of mine who has made quite an astonishing development as a writer. Interesting enough he usually writes in german but has started years ago to express his work in english as well. Thats why we have decided to feature him here and at uldoposch.de as well...

Similarities you may find with Charles Bukowski´s "Barfly" are not that obvious as you may think. John Erwiss has his own voice, his own character and a life full of experiences most people would consider to be exceptional. But his strong language partially nestled beneath the belt is often shocking and too strong for some. His work reflects a lot of his own traumatas in life we all are going through. The beautiful outcome over the years through his true expression by writing has helped him to go the extra mile of life. "When Buddha stole my shoes" is the current project he is working on and hopefully we get to see an extract of this book project. Besides that and foremost we will display here his peotry written in english.
