Creators: Loved To his legions of fans, Charles Bukowski was- - and remains- - a counterculture icon. A hard- drinking wild man of literature, a stubborn outsider to the poetry world, he struck a chord with generations of readers, writing raw, tough poetry about booze, work, and women, that spoke to his fans as "real" and, like the work of the Beats, even dangerous. THE PLEASURES OF THE DAMNED is a selection of the best works of Bukowski's later years, edited by John Martin of Black Sparrow Press, including the last of his new, never- before- published poems.
LovedI often say that Charles Bukowski's poetry is best read like a novel beginning to end you do not necessarily have to punctuate the poems by stopping and contemplating on each of them. A lot of what is accomplished in a compilation of Bukowski poetry is a Snowball Effect we understand the character the speaker better poem by poem we understand the world around the speaker better poem by poem we understand the views of the speaker better poem by poem.
