A reblog of July 2010 posting on some of my favorite artists; Charles Bukowski, Warren Zevon, and Tom Russell. — kenne
While reading the poetry of Writers in Performance Series presenters this morning, I became distracted by an email message from the Tom Russell@yahoogroups.com Re: A Cover Song Request in Memory of Warren Zevon. Russell seems to have great respect for Zevon’s work, but probably none more that “Carmelita,” which he combines with Charles Bukowski’s, “Crucifix In A Deathhand,” on his Modern Art CD. By putting the two together, Russell demonstrates his appreciation and understanding of Bukowski’s words and the lyrics of Warren Zevon. “Crucifix In A Deathhand” is my favorite Bukowski poem.
Crucifix In a Death Hand

an old woman with a bad memory and
a shopping basket.
we are in a basin. that is the
idea…
