Reading Love is a Dog from Hell felt like adopting a stray mutt that bites you, steals your dinner, and somehow still makes you cry because it looks so sad. 

Bukowski's poems are messy, scrappy, and a little flea-ridden, but damn if they don't sit barking by your side and demand attention.

Much to my dismay, I enjoyed this book. What’s worse? I’ll probably end up reading more Bukowski…
