5.0 out of 5 stars This is Bukowski's poetic masterpiece., 9 Jul 1999
By A Customer
This book is Bukowski's finest collection of poetry ever published. As with all prolific writers, Buk's books often come with more filler than sustenance- that is not the case here. The poems written for/about Jane highlight his most soulful collection. The usual mask of nonchalance has been stripped away, along with the chains of his self-created tough guy/barfly image. The tenderness and warmth are unfiltered by his masculine facade. Moving, desolate, and often humorous, this book is nearly flawless. It is written in such a way that anyone can read and understand. It isn't written in a flowery, deeply symbolic style that makes younger readers hate poetry. This book is from the heart, mind and fists of a man who has loved, suffered, hated and laughed. Anyone who has done likewise should be able to appreciate the raw beauty presented within. Make no mistake, the alcoholism, sex and madness that made Bukowski famous are all represented here as well. This is the book to read if you are interested in the most three-dimensional portrayal of the late poet.

5.0 out of 5 stars a total stunner, 23 Feb 2004
By marty mcfly "sparklethewonderhorse" (London, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I came at Bukowski from the prose and im not a huge fan of poetry, in general. I do find, however, that on the rare occasion that poetry grabs me it wrenches and pulls in a way that great prose never can. This is one of the most engaging, raw, simplistic and poignant collections i have troubled to read. This is simply fantastic and proof of why Bukowski regarded his poetry as his finest, most relevant work and of why he enjoyed it so much more than his prose. The messages are succinct and unfettered and the piece entitled 'notice' contains so much grief and aggression and such a stark contrast between love and death, that i found it truly moving. This is something Bukowski never managed to achieve in his novels and short stories and i think it is a perfect example of the nature of his talents.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic poems ripped straight from heaven and hell, 26 Mar 1999
By A Customer
This is a great collection. The "Jane" poems alone are worth the price of admission, but there is much, much more here for your consideration.

READ BUKOWSKI AND LIVE!
