I really like some of Bukowski's work, which is why I read this to begin with. I do not like this collection.

It was like reading about someone worth admiring and worth hating, all at the same time. Bukowski writes with a voice that is uniquely his own and I look forward to picking up other volumes.

yk... its bukowski.
some poems are good, some are not.
his genius lies in simplicity and it shouldnt be rated.

Some poems are beautiful and touching, while others are weird and disturbing. It's a mix of emotions - some you'll love, some you won't. Get ready for a potentially unsettling experience.
