A review by tummidge
Love Is a Dog from Hell by Charles Bukowski

4.0

I have loved Bukowski since my early twenties, but I was never interested in reading his poetry. A new found love for the form has blossomed of late and on recommendation I decided to have a peek at some starting with this collection of his early 70s work.

There are a lot of poems in here compared with collections I've read up to this point, but a lot of the work is funny, poignant, human and scratches at the underbelly of life. Bukowski shows an ability to write about anything and make it great.

I'll definitely being go back for more Bukowski poetry in time, but I reckon I'll need to dig out my copy of Ham on Rye soon too.
