Finally got around to reading Trey Buck's latest email
You seem to be considering this as some kind of a joke, which I assure you it is not. As regards to the agressive aspect, I did not give you permission to use my name, or any other element on your “web site”. You could, of course, drag this into a very unpleasant mess, but I would
suggest, for your own sake, that you do not do so.Sincerely,
William Buck

Yeah, ok. My response, here (scroll down). It is sad really, Trey used to be an interesting, intellectual, philosopher-poet, but now he is just a bitter derelict, pretending to emulate Bukowski, but mostly just failing at everything, and living off the largesse of his 'mother'. I have plenty of insight into why he is what he is, but it isn't really fit for discussion on a family publication like the internets. Impotence is the least of his worries, trust me. I'm torn between pitying the guy, and being angry at him for his failures - especially because he did have immense potential, when we were both young'uns. At least at that time, there weren't many people that I considered as my intellectual equal. Now I'm a little more humble about myself, but apparently Trey, even after years of alcohol and drug abuse, still has an over-inflated ego, without merit.
Oracle Porch is William Buck's cryptically titled book of poems, and I guess I wish him well regardless of how I feel about him personally. From what I've read, the New York Times Book Review isn't about to review it, but whatever. I've only published one poem in University of Texas annual poetry journal, so who am I to besmirch another's work?

Hey. Please change the name of this post. MY name is Trey Buck, and Im certainly NOT an asshole. I have no relation to this "William Buck" but when I google my name, this is the 2nd search result. That kinda bothers me especially since his name is even really Trey, its William.
Will you change it to "William Buck is an asshole" PLEASE?
Thank you,
TREY BUCK
Except that I don't know *you* as Trey Buck, I only know *the* Trey Buck who is an asshole. He might be calling himself William Buck at the moment, but in all the years that I hung out with him, he was only called "Trey Buck", without a single exception. Thousands of times he responded to "Trey Buck!" Sorry.
There are guys named Ted Bundy who are not serial killers that are in the same situation as you if this is any consolation.
