5.0 out of 5 stars we have lost the great voice of the latter 20th century, 16 Dec 1998

By A Customer

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars A reflective book of poetry, 3 Dec 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: You Get So Alone at Times That it Just Makes Sense (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.
