Review: Great book by a legend - Charles is a legend and this is a great book, arrived fast and in good condition
Review: It’s great!!! - It’s probably my second favorite Bukowski poetry book… Very good! There are a lot of good poems in it. I carry it in my book bag and pull it out if I’m sitting in waiting in the doctors office or if I’m waiting for a client to get to me… I’m so over electronics I typically carry a book or two or a cassette recorder in my bag…*** The cassette recorder is for just taping, random thoughts and ideas or things that are going on in my life at the moment just to try and get away from the digital age.*** I am a child of the 70s so I still like tangible things like books, you can hold. This is a good one!! I will say my favorite Charles Bukowski poetry book is: The last night of the earth poems, that would be my first choice. This one would be my second choice… It’s definitely worth buying or if you know a fan of Charles get this for them for Christmas or if you want to introduce someone to his poetry this is also a good one for that ! Enjoy!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I like this early stuff better
*by C***N on November 5, 2018*

I have been an avid reader of Bukowski for thirty years now. What can I say? I feel an affinity with the man. I moved out to Southern California with some drunken, vague thought in my head that I would be closer to him, and maybe even visit him, or try to, but he passed the very year I moved to SoCal which is where I still live. I have all his works, and have read and re-read all of his poetry and prose for these three decades. It may seem paradoxical, but the older I get, the more I have been enjoying the poetry he wrote as younger man, while, the exact opposite was true when I was younger. I wonder why that is? But, I think there is certain muscle in his earlier work. A certain spit in the eye. There is also this singing that can be heard above the howling and the madness. There is something trying to break free, and in that process of becoming liberated, generated a certain light and clarity. I am not disparaging his later work (I mean, my god, Last Night of the Earth is absolutely mind-blowing) but, as the years pass me by, I like looking at these early poems. I tend to smile more when I read them than I do the later works.
