Oh boy. Bukowski isn’t everyone’s cup of tea. This selection is very raw and blunt and has some uncomfortable moments and makes me grimace more than I’d like to admit, but there are some poems that I do quite enjoy and will say are favorites he’s ever written.

Like I said, he’s definitely not for everyone.

This was a reread for this year. First poetry book of my 2024 book challenge.
