Charles Bukowski
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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This is the best of Bukowski's work...if you ask me, which, of course, you did not. The grit that permeates all of Bukowski's best work is balanced here with the deep emotion of his Jane poems. The book is dedicated to her.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5More than a dozen years have passed since I first opened this collection, which was published the year I was born. After only a few readings, the following poem settled into my brain and never left. I return to it again and again, each time expecting -- and receiving -- a visceral jolt. these thingsthese things that we support most wellhave nothing to do with us, and we do with themout of boredom or fear or moneyor cracked intelligence;our circle and our candle of lightbeing small,so small we cannot bear it,we heave out with Ideaand lose the Center:all wax without the wick,and we see names that once meant wisdom,like signs into ghost towns,and only the graves are real.
