Question: Which poet was born first, Charles Bukowski or Russell Edson?
Context: "The Killers" is a short-story by Charles Bukowski collected in his 1973 collection "South of No North", originally published by John Martin's Black Sparrow Press.  The story elucidates Bukowski's publicly acknowledged artistic debt to Ernest Hemingway, the writer who had the most influence on American writers of Bukowksi's generation.  Like "The Killers", Bukowski's story of the same name has as its thematic trope Murder in a nihilistic universe.  Unlike Hemingway, the killers actually accomplish their act in the time-frame of the story. Ham on Rye is a 1982 semi-autobiographical novel by American author and poet Charles Bukowski.

Henry Charles "Hank" Chinaski is the literary alter ego of the American writer Charles Bukowski, appearing in five of Bukowski's novels, a number of his short stories and poems, and in the films "Barfly" and "Factotum".  Although much of Chinaski's biography is based on Bukowski's own life story, the Chinaski character is still a literary creation that is constructed with the veneer of what the writer Adam Kirsch calls "a pulp fiction hero."  Works of fiction that feature the character include "Confessions of a Man Insane Enough to Live With the Beasts" (1965), "Post Office" (1971), "South of No North" (1973), "Factotum" (1975), "Women" (1978), "Ham on Rye" (1982), "Hot Water Music" (1983), "Hollywood" (1989), and "Septuagenarian Stew" (1990).  He is also mentioned briefly in the beginning of Bukowski's last novel, "Pulp". Bukowski is an upcoming American biographical film.  It retells the childhood years of writer Charles Bukowski.
