Editorial Reviews

Review

"Read Hitler on thru. Poems get BETTER! Glad I am the foreword, plenty glad."

Charles Bukowski writes in his book LIVING ON LUCK: "I liked the Richmond. He knows how to give due to the object without destroying the object involved. This is no easy thing. Steve also knows how to write a sentence. Most can't. I have said for years that Steve Richmond is the most underrated human and writer and painter that I know. -- Charles Bukowski

4.0 out of 5 stars A True American Original., August 14, 1999

This review is from: Hitler Painted Roses (Paperback)

Steve Richmond's poetry is probably the best "undiscovered" writing in America today. This reissued volume of old and new poems is good, but his best book is the long out-of-print tome EARTH ROSE. Regardless, or maybe in spite, of Richmond's relationship with American-icon Charles Bukowski, these poems stand up and holler on their own.

I decided to check out Steve Richmond's work after reading a line in LIFSHIN & RICHMOND, "...all I see is the enlarging face of bugs bunny laughing...unfunny unfeeling ungood in any way to me..." which intrigued me as a nightmare vision. HITLER PAINTED ROSES also displayed a fascinatingly dark imagination but was too slight a volume to give me much of an impression of his work.
