Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Charles Bukowski is one of America’s best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.

Not Buk’s best, but some gems nonetheless

Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2020

Verified Purchase

Not Bukowski’s best work. Many of the poems are hit or miss for me, but there are a few gems. One of my favorites of all of his work, “The Last Days of the Suicide Kid” is in this collection. Having read it myself, and listened to him read it, well over 100 times, I think it’s practically worth the price all on its own.

Okay Book

Reviewed in the United States on October 28, 2017

Not quite his best collection. Feels uneven and has a bit too many poems where he attempts to stray from his true formula.

A Charming Collection of Some of Charles Bukowski's Best Stuff

Reviewed in the United States on February 24, 2016

One of Bukowski's best collections, with many poems not easily obtainable elsewhere. One of the books put edited and released by John Martin while the author was alive and kicking (literally).

This was a replacement for one I had that someone borrowed and didn't return. I guess I'm responsible for others enjoying Bukowski.

This was my first foray into Bukowski's work and I liked this collection of poems a lot. A good variety of poems that seem to represent his style well.
