plattcraig's review against another edition
5.0
Great poems. Impossible to review as all of his work is consistent and must be judged as a whole. I'd read this book 10 years ago and re-read today.

"amateur drunks run their cheerful
cars into each other
the ambulances sing to each
other outside"
Picked this book up purely for the title. Poems are hit and miss but when they hit they hit hard. Bukowski looks at the sad, lonely, drunken part of life and dwells on it, but still keeps kicking along.
