Essential Bukowski: Poetry by Charles Bukowski is a good fit for those seeking a thought-provoking and emotionally charged collection of poems that explore the complexities of the human experience, delving into themes of love, death, sex, writing, and the struggles of everyday life with a raw, honest, and often humorous voice. An editor once called him a “passionate madman.”
Haven‘t read my favorite poet in awhile so when I saw this I dived right in. A great collection of some of his most classic and famous poems that are both profound and sad at the same time. I‘ll be thinking about these for awhile.
“What matters most is how well you walk through the fire.”
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Made me think. Bukowski at his best. Profound and sizzling.
From my shelves, a book of poems that I‘ve not yet read. This was a gift from a fellow cat lover. 😻

Bukowski is so raw and real. His work makes me want to stay up late, sleep in strange places, and drink whiskey on the rocks - so long as it'll grant me a glimpse at what it's like to write this way.
Visited one of my favorite bookstores and returned with these. Very excited about the tagged - someone in a crit group recently compared my poetry to Bukowski's and I am eager to read his work.
I don't really adhere to this philosophy but I am a Bukowski fan!
So far Boston has been painful, but we've walked to this loud, smoky dive bar for dinner. It seems like a pretty good representation of the poet, and the menu looks really good. I love finding nerdy literary places to eat/drink.
EDIT: Try the mashed potatoes! Omg!
Better than Rory Gilmore‘s reading list is Jess Mariano‘s. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he was kind of a jerk sometimes, but I‘d still marry him a hundred times over. He‘d read me to sleep at night. Swoon. https://www.buzzfeed.com/eleventy11/the-jess-mariano-reading-list-15muu?utm_term...
Playing catch up: green - my favorite color - for @Jess7 💚💚💚 #bookcolortag
My first step in to the world of Bukowski. I didn't know about him till I read 'Every Exquisite Thing'.. now, I find myself searching for his poetry.

All are TBR except Huck Finn and the Vonnegut.
