The iconic tortured artist/everyman delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions. “The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates “He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter "well, that's just the way it is..." sometimes when everything seems at its worst when all conspires and gnaws and the hours, days, weeks years seem wasted-- stretched there upon my bed in the dark looking upward at the ceiling I get what many will consider an obnoxious thought: it's still nice to be Bukowski. Review: Yup - Bukowski really was an excellent writer. Like so many, I've never been all that big into poetry. Turns out, i hasn't yet found the style that I liked. Bukowski novels are great, but his poetry collections are something unique. Poems about real life, short stories, essays here and there. HiRec. Review: A good introduction to Bukowksi - I'm not a poetry fanatic, but I'm trying to get into it. This was one of two books by Bukowski that I bought to do so (the other being The Last Night of the Earth Poems ). I found both very enjoyable and have moved on to read some of his other works since then. These were the first enjoyable books of poetry I'd read in my life. I would recommend them for anyone who is trying to get into poetry as a hobby, especially if (like me) you are not an English major or aspiring poet, and thus are more able to take these for what they are, rather than evaluate their literary merit from established standards. In other words, I connected with this book on a personal level, not an academic level, and I encourage you to read it if you would like to do so too. ## Features - Used Book in Good Condition ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #31,409 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #24 in Death, Grief & Loss Poetry (Books) #52 in Love Poems #2,777 in Literary Fiction (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 2,524 Reviews | ## Images ![You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71bgEXTZHAL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Yup *by K***R on October 14, 2025* Bukowski really was an excellent writer.
