About the Author

Charles Bukowski is one of America's best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose, and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp.

I was introduced to Bukowski's poetry through the movie, Born into This. This is the first book I picked up after watching the movie and I was amazed by the simplicity and depth of his work. He writes about everything he sees and shows the true art of poetry in every crevice of his reality.
