DISCOVER NORTHEAST LOS ANGELES

The historic, eclectic and diverse communities of Northeast Los Angeles grew from the gentle valley and hillsides along the Arroyo Seco, stretching in between Downtown Los Angeles and Pasadena.

Discover Northeast Los Angeles

The neighborhoods are now cross-cultural and dynamic, but much of their character can traced to Arts and Crafts movement of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

The Arts and Crafts Movement celebrated individualism, creativity and pride of craftsmanship as a rebuttal to the Industrial Revolution , and as a counterpoint to Victorian formality.

The spirit of the Arts and Crafts Movement continues today as a vital and thriving Arts Community rooted in Northeast Los Angeles.

Charles Bukowski's Scarlet a memoir by Pam "Cupcakes" Wood

My good friend, Pam, is now a published author.

Pam ("Cupcakes") was Charles Bukowski's lover in the mid 1970s.  Bukowski penned the poems in his book "Scarlet" about her.
 
Now several years after Bukowski's death, Pam has written her memoirs of that time.  Her book "Charles's Bukowski's Scarlet" has just been released.  I figured the least I could do would be to create a  quick fansite, http://www.BukCalledHerScarlet.com   and tell my friends about the book. 

And you don't need to be a fan of Charles Bukowski to love this book. It is a tour de force of life in Los Angeles in the mid 1970s, and it is an endearing and amusing commentary on the sometimes crazy and dysfunctional nature of romantic relationships.  (Watch out for adult language!)
