You have changed me.
The way I think,
the way I read,
the way I write,
and the way I live.
Your writing has pushed me.
To think harder,
to view life differently,
to write more freely,
and to not try.
Hank, you and your words have changed me.
And now,
I am a better,
stronger,
smarter,
free-spirited,
version of myself.
Charles Bukowski and his writing had a huge impact on my life and my writing.
