5.0 out of 5 stars The beauty of a brutal reality, 14 Feb 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Love is a Dog from Hell (Hardcover)
So often people read bukowski and only see the excesses of his lifestyle. I read of celebreties mentioning him and they just don't seem to get it. This is one of the most beautiful and brutal books of poetry you could ever read. Enjoy the honesty. Enjoy the lack of pretense.

5.0 out of 5 stars love, lust, desire, sex, hatred; American love poems, 11 Mar 1998
By A Customer
I was down and out and burned out. Love was beating me down. Never heard of him. Saw the title. What else did I need? Bukowski mixes pure, raw sexual experiences and images with heartfelt love, adoration, and regret. He is one of the few authors in the world who can change your emotions from laughter, to disgust, to tears in only three poems. Read him. You must.

5.0 out of 5 stars A broken tormented comforters collection...., 23 May 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Love is a Dog from Hell (Hardcover)
Locked away in the bowels of a sweaty and soiled charity shop, where the government had placed me for a six month sentence...I was placed in charge of books and records there i discovered this elegant beerstain, along with Tropic Of Capricorn and On The Road;Beat became mine.The rips and tears of unsuccessful love affairs were constantly comforted by Love is a Dog From Hell, either sober or blind drunk staring through goldfish bowl eyes, it is a book i constantly refer to more than any other in my collection. My friends who do not read at all also totally relate to Bukowski's experiences and have grown to love him. I really don't think there will ever be a time when i am not flicking through this masterful collection of poetry.
