قرأت الطبعة العربية ولم تعجبني، سوف أقرأ نسخة بالإنجليزية وأرى هل السبب يرجع لترجمة الشعر بشكل عام أم ترجمة هذه المجموعة الشعرية تحديدا أم في الكتاب نفسه بلغته الأصلية، رغم إني قرأت مجموعة قصائد (لا تحاول) بالعربية وكانت أول مقابلة لي مع بوكوفسكي وأعجبتني كثيرا، لكن ربما كانت استثناءً.

[to the whore who took my poems]
next time take my left arm or a fifty
but not my poems:

[2 p.m. beer]
nothing matters
but flopping on a mattress
with cheap dreams

[view from the screen]
you must some day die for nothing
as I
have lived.

[note to a lady who expected rupert brooke]
but suicide fails as you get older:
there’s less and less to kill.

[some people]
some people never go crazy.
what truly horrible lives
they must lead.

I was drunk
and I f***ed a whore
because love gave me
the sad sads
I am not like other
people

I mean, it’s Buko. You either love him or hate him, and I love some of his poems and find others incredibly dull and predictable.

funny lighthearted reflective sad medium-paced

Plot- or character-driven? Character
Loveable characters? It's complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes
