Sifting Through the Madness for the Word, the Line, the Way: New Poems

Buy it. Read it. Feel it. Love it. And then read it again.Bukowski may be one of my favorite authors, not only for the style and way he writes,but also the raw truth in what he writes.No flitty,embellished, wordy trying-to-make-poerty crap.It's real. And it has actual meaning.You don't have to be a scholar to see how great of a writer he is.And you don't have to be a scholar to understand it.Because he's just like the rest of us, he's human.

The book was great as is all things Bukowski but it had lots of notes written inside. It sort of ruined the experience for me because they were really annoying comments. Should have bought it new.

great book

Great go-to book whenever I may be feeling down. I read a couple Charles Bukowski poems, and all of a sudden, my life doesn't seem so bad. At all.

Great read

Great book, great edition. Has that great book smell

Everything Charles Bukowski writes is poetic genius. His sense of humor (if it is even humor) is so realistic and cynical it invokes the raw emotions I wasn't sure I even had. His work, over his writing career, changed as he changed. This dirty old man moves me in ways only a dirty old man should.Sex, drugs, alcohol, women's names he forgets, all of it is simply amazing.If you don't like Bukowski, then I'm not sure you should be allowed to live.

BUOWSKI FANS WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Brilliantly crafted poetry that touches on all aspects of life. Read when you're feeling robust, or when you're falling apart. This guy speaks from his core.

goog book!
