Format:Paperback
Charles Bukowski, in this and other fine works, remains a stalwart voice in literary circles. His down to earth styles and musings of the everyman convey beauty through desolation, hope through nothingness, and love through lonliness. I highly recommend this, as well as his novels. He is greatly missed.

Format:Hardcover
I hate poetry, but I love Buk's poems. This book is written in a more hesitant thought out manner. It seems as if Buk got sentimental for a period and the result is a book of poetry that seems mostly retrospective. These poems seem less emotional and more calm. Yet at times his poems recount hilarious antecdotes and reveal his retrospective insights concerning them. In one poem, Bukowski comments on people complaining that his recent poem's lack of urgency. I got the mental image of Bukowski aging alone and wondering why he isn't dead yet. This is a book of non-urgent slow moving beautiful poems. To put it in simplist terms, I recomend it.
Format:Paperback
The Most Beautiful Woman in Townif you have read any of his books,this collection of poems does not fail to impress.
