In Radio Bukowski Portuguese musician Guilherme Lucas created 14 soundscapes for as many poems by Charles Bukowski, read by the man himself.
This magical celebration of Bukowski's 100th birth anniversary is a musical journey through tenderness and sandpaper, wrapped in guitar singing at times in silk paper and at others delightfully boastful.
Each song is beautifully illustrated by Pedro Sousa Pereisa, who also lends his penmanship to the writing of the poems. It gives it one more layer of personality in tune with the spirit conveyed by music and words.
The book has foreword by Jonathan Shaw, Artie Shaw's son. Shaw is a tattoo artist, founder of New York City's oldest tattoo shop, Fun City Tattoo and writer. He is the author of books such as Narcisa: Our Lady of Ashes or Scab Vendor: Confessions of a Tattoo Artist.
Radio Bukowski book-cd is out in October.
