Bukowski is not really a woman's poet or writer. But after reading about his life and the hard life he had, I sort of forgave him. And nowadays I write a poem a day. About things I see, feel, regret etc. So - Charles - your work truly had an effect on my life.
@normadesmond6017 i can understand what you are saying i think...he is kind of a philanderer, probably used alot of women for s*x, is that what you meant? Or maybe like he kind of wanted women to take care of him, rather than have an equal partnership? i would love to know what you mean, just bc i'm a woman and i have loved him since the first poem i read of his. One of my favorite poets of all time. So your comment got my attention, would love to know why you say not a womens writer? Genuinely curious, not picking a fight with you at all!!!. and I love that he has an effect on you, he does me too!! He was an inspiration to my own poetry that i wrote in college, so that's cool you write too. Thank you!
Plenty of women loved Bukowski back when he was alive and successful and well-known as a writer. Times have changed, and many women today would probably condemn him as a misogynist pig, and maybe in some ways they are right, but it is true that plenty of women once found him and his writing very attractive and relatable. Bukowski was a very nuanced character. He could go from being incredibly vulnerable and romantic to deeply misanthropic and calloused. I suppose he was at his best, both as a writer and a person, when he was somewhere in between...
It was narrated without any particular sentiment and that was it's very beauty. Because you made your own mind up and your own feelings came through without being told how to feel. Naturally we were all rooting for the cat.
I worked in a shelter for a couple years (had to move to new town). it was very underfunded bc of the county we lived in. Saddest job of my life, cried on my drive home several days. I like to think that we make a difference, even a small one, by being there with them and loving them (I think they can feel it). Thank u for doing that job...it can be rough. Wish you all the best in everything
Thanks for reintroducing me to Bukowski. At a low point in my life, hard to find strength and courage to climb into the litter box. But I AM kinda curious, how the "trumpet of possible victory" might sound.
his poems have helped me through some really tough times in life too, one of the best poets ever in my opinion. I'd like to hear the trumpet too. Wishing you all the best in life
@@ashleyb9362 Thanks dood. Since posting this I faced some of my biggest challenges in life yet...And overcame most! Accepting the struggle and learning to appreciate oneself made me appreciate others and the world. The world deserves better. You all deserve better.
I was 20 years old when I met him young and foolish, I was told that he's a famous person and there was an article in one of the newspapers, he seems to be friendly enough down to earth and I was talking to him as if I'm talking to a friend in a bar so I asked him can I have one of your books, he brought a book next day and he signed it for me, before that point I had no idea who he was, he was comfortable talking to me and he opened up saying he was not happy with the amount of money he received for the movie he was in, I used to shadow box with him and he will play along no problem as if I know him all my life, I am a Greek Orthodox Christian Palestinian and he is a Jew and I was fresh off the boat in those days so there was little friction right there, one thing about this Jew he was a good Tipper 100 bucks at a time and that was in the 80s, that was the time in which for 5 or $6 you can get a 2 patty Quarter Pounder Burger with fries and a large Coke.
The best answer is always PETS 🐱🐱🐱🐱 I'm binging your content right now so I wrote this poem about Bukowski, hope you enjoy: What poetry exists within the soul of one within the world; who wants to live without it? Though understanding tends to serve a hope that we will get along, along the way I heard the soul of one who humors being gone.
@@ashleyb9362 Better than that I was Shadow Boxing with him, I was young and foolish did not understand the opportunity, for some reason he liked me in opened up talked about a few things that I can't remember, one thing comes to mind that he was not happy with the amount of money he made from the movie he was in, I could have easily been a close friend and a companion but then it is not to be, his wife or girlfriend at that time was a real bitch .
@@nidalshehahadeh7485 that is so awesome. Thank you for sharing this. What an interesting guy to be around. I didn't know he boxed...or maybe i forgot. That's cool too

Hello,🦋🦋🦋 🐥🐦🐦🐦🦜🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ(His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus Christ sincerely to be God's child John 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today?
I'm crying too. And laughing. And crying. And understanding. Thank you, Bukowski. You are my cat.
Wow. Happen to be a big cat lover. Find them to be extremely special. That was an unbelievable story. I’m about to learn more about Mr. Bukowski.
Thank you, for empathy.
yayyyy, you are in for a very special time!...one of the top 5 poets in my opinion.
He died sober. May his beautiful soul rest in peace!

Forgive him for what?

Late comer to bukovski. He's thoroughly wonderful poet. Love him. Wish I'd known him. ❤
Very touching.❤
Work is an animal shelter that refuses to do better. I needed this.

@@ernestokalek1941that is great! Glad to read that
Not a cat guy but that is one tough motherf@#!er.
That's why they say cats have nine lives.
"I got cats eyes, nine lives, abusing every one of them and running wild"...
I love cats so much. Dogs are dope but cats… well, they’re cats.
yes!...cats are magic
Cats are the only cats who know where it's at!

God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ(His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus Christ sincerely to be God's child John 1:12.
