Cherkovski, Neeli.
            Whitman's Wild Children.
            Lapis Press, 1988.
        
        
            Cherkovski was fifteen, a kid from the street, when he met Bukowski. Cherkovski's essay on Bukowski is an
            honest account, and reveals scenes from Bukowksi's life not covered in Buk's own stories.
