JOURNALIST, TEACHER and poet, Mike Sonksen, (better known around town as, Mike the Poet) touched down in
class earlier this semester and spun L.A. history via shimmering rhyming
couplets. He threw out names of some of his favorite books, authors and
hidden places in L.A. Full list to follow but here are a few of the
books and/or authors he made mention of both in conversation and verse:
Budd Schulberg: What Makes Sammy Run?
John Fante, Ask the Dust
Charles Bukowski, Hollywood
