I really don't care for poetry very much, but this book really shows off Bukowski on a level that more people could tolerate. If all you have heard about is how vulgar Bukowski is try this book and will change your mind.

Hardest 230 pages of reading of my life, mostly because i have a pretty low threshold for listening to Bukowski whine about being ugly and old and drunk and broke and how no girls want him anymore and his balls itch and he's horny etc etc. There were a few gems in here and i can see his skill at certain points but i just really do not care enough abt his little pity party to read this many poems describing his shitty life.

برای بوکفسکی
همینقدر بگویم که خواندنش
چونان تماشایِ خمیازه‌یِ کشدار گربه‌ای است
زیر آفتاب ملول
گربه‌ای که رهگذران دود سیگارشان را
توی صورت خسته‌اش
فوت می کنند و فرار.
و هیچ کس نمی‌داند
که نگاه گربه و صدایش چه اندازه مغموم‌اند.
پی نوشت:
وقتی این کتاب رو خریدم، حادثه سانچی اتفاق افتاده بود. عجیب دلم برای اسم کتاب پرپر می‌زد. این اولین کتابیه که از بوکفسکی میخونم و شعرهاش عمیقا تلخ و واقعی‌ان. طوری که با پوست و گوشت و خونت درکشون میکنی.

This was a beautiful written book of poems. Bukowski has a really unique perspective but it’s something that I can’t quite relate to. I have it a 4 for the skill of writing but I really couldn’t connect to the poetry in the same way others maybe can.
