If the poet Charles Bukowski were half as dissolute as he claimed to be, how in the world did he write the great poems featured in this volume, let alone some other forty-four books? Well, he is certainly a genius. Bukowski wrote five thousand poems in fifty years. The ninety-five poems collected in this book are scathingly original and so vibrant they seem to have slid off the pen. One of his lines can stop this reader in her tracks. It is not beautiful, and then somehow it is. He writes of women, cats, drink, and rough work that tests a hardy man. He writes of his father’s death, and we are with him in that room as he tries on the blue suit. He cautions the aspiring writer to “not write poetry.”
Edited by Abel Debritto, the definitive collection of poems from an influential writer whose transgressive legacy and raw, funny, and acutely observant writing has left an enduring mark on modern culture. Few writers have so brilliantly and poignantly conjured the desperation and absurdity of ordinary life as Charles Bukowski. Resonant with his powerful, perceptive voice, his visceral, hilarious, and transcendent poetry speaks to us as forcefully today as when it was written. Encompassing a wide range of subjects-from love to death and sex to writing-Bukowski's unvarnished and self-deprecating verse illuminates the deepest and most enduring concerns of the human condition while remaining sharply aware of the day to day. With his acute eye for the ridiculous and the troubled, Bukowski speaks to the deepest longings and strangest predilections of the human experience. Gloomy yet hopeful, this is tough, unrelenting poetry touched by grace. This is Essential Bukowski. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
