Da ne dužim mnogo,moje izdanje je sastavljeno iz zbirki "It Catches My Heart in Its Hands" "Crucifix in a Deathhand" "At Terror Street And Agony Way" i "Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame" .Pratimo raniji rad Bukovskog kroz njih,moj najveći problem s ovom zbirkom je što ima dosta filler pesama bez smisla ali to je standard kod njegovih zbirki,najviše takvih pesama ima "It Catches My Heart in Its Hands" koja mi se i najmanje dopala.Celokupna zbirka ima neke odlične pesme koje su mi ušle u njegove omiljene pesme,ali nešto nedostaje da bi ovome dala odličnu ocenu.

some interesting ideas here
amongst the dross
got drunk a couple of times to read it (drunk now)
couldn't brink myself to read it closely
mostly had to let it wash over me
like bile and stale beer.
i see there is a hold on it at the libary.
wouldnt want to keep them

“ have died too many times
Believing & waiting, waiting
In a room
Staring at a cracked ceiling
Waiting for the phone, a leste, a knock, a sound…
Going wild inside
While she danced with strangers in nightclubs… ”
I remember those nights & they had been etched onto my bleeding heart; frozen over, but then my love came & set blaze inside & my love then rose from the ashes like the phoenix. But I remember those nights.. Bukowski, even in his moments where he comes across as crass always finds a way to hit home with the next line, next page..
IV from 1972-73 were my favorites from this collection

“Each man must realize
That it can all disappear very
Quickly:
The cat, the woman, the job,
The front tire,
The bed, the walls, the
Room; all our necessities
Including love,
Rest on foundations of sand—
And any given cause,
No matter how unrelated;
The death of a boy in Hong Kong
Or a blizzard in Omaha…
Can serve as your undoing.
…”
RIP Bukowski, I’ll have a glass of scotch in your name soon

The main character is an investigator with paranormal abilities and some martial arts training to boot! This is a kick in the pants. The horror element is also thrilling. I couldn't put this book down.
