Enter to win Bradley Wind portrait of Charles Bukowski

In honor of the 20th anniversary of Charles Bukowski’s passing — the author left this world on March 9, 1994 — we are raffling off this original 18×18″ watercolor portrait of Bukowski by Bradley Wind. If you’d like your name entered into the drawing, just send an email with your contact info to silver@silverbirchpress.com with RAFFLE in the subject line. We promise to blindfold ourselves when we pick the winner — which we’ll select on Sunday, March 9, 2014. (For the record, this artwork is from our personal collection, acquired after the portrait appeared in the Silver Birch Press Bukowski Anthology.)

Stay tuned for a week of giveaways as we count down to the 20th Anniversary of Hank’s departure and pay tribute to the great writer!

“This is no simple recovery story. Phoenix has the lust, the furor and passion of Norman Mailer…of Pynchon, of Kerouac…With this fierce memoir, Phoenix, Philippa Mayall comes roaring into the literary world; her sharp and angry Manchester, England, voice barges into the pale and tidy tea room of L.A. literature like a Harley with Drone power.”
