Nick Cave shares opinion on Charles Bukowski, says he's the "bukkake of bad poetry"

In a new response on his fan Q+A site, Cave received a message from someone saying he's "one of the bonzerist geezers around, like Bukowski with a geetar." Cave isn't a fan of Bukowski, and didn't hold back in his response, calling the late poet the "bukkake of bad poetry".

Cave wrote, "Thank you for your letters but, I’m sorry, Simon, I don’t like being compared to Charles Bukowski. I appreciate you were trying to be kind and make me feel good and everything but I don’t like the man. This a well known fact. Now, if you had called me, say, the ‘Philip Larkin of the Joanna’ or the ‘Stevie Smith of the Ivories’ or the ‘All Singing, All Dancing John Berryman’ or ‘Langston Hughes of the Banger’, I’d be lot happier. But, I don’t know, Simon, I just don’t like Charles Bukowski. In my opinion, Charles Bukowski is the ‘Bukkake of Bad Poetry’, just blowing his junk around. I don’t like him. I just don’t. Not even a bit. No, not at all."
