Background
Information
Bukowski is a major influence. Oh - let's not forget Tristian Tzara; without he, there'd be no me. I'm a beat dadist at heart. There are more, of course. Hmmm - Capote, Shirley Jackson, Stephen King (there - I've admitted it publicly!), the Bronte sisters and the lyrics of Alice Cooper.
