John Martin, rest in peace
John Martin of Black Sparrow Press passed on. This morning, I read a memory of a rare book dealer purchasing and reading Bukowski's poetry after seeing the film Barfly in the 1980s, and then I discovered The New York Times obituary released from its paywall. The Charles Bukowski introduction to John Fante's Ask the Dust is a favorite piece of writing published by Black Sparrow. Bukowski also wrote a famous letter of gratitude to his publisher. Rest in peace, John Martin.
