Who is Karol Bukovski

Karol Bukovski is a distant relative of Charles Bukowski. Their ancestors (similary like the ruthenian ancestors of Andy Warhol ) lived at the north-east of Slovakia. Nobody knows that the name of Bukovske vrchy (the main part of the Poloniny National Park) means Bukowski Hills in English and nobody knows that this name is a tribute to the famous writer with the poloniny roots.
