Love Is a Dog From Hell by Charles Bukowski

Charles Bukowski, the bad boy of American poetry, on casual sex, public urination, betting on horses, getting drunk and other low-life activities in the Los Angeles of the 1970s.

Very cool, I’d love to hear some more in depth thoughts on some of your favorite books

Standard review of Bukowski, but you didn't do him justice. He may be no T.S. Eliot, but I don't think Eliot had half Bukowski's raw poetic force. You warn people that he wrote about his low life, but you didn't say he wrote well about that life.

I was not saying that Eliot was superior to Bukowski. I was pointing out that they were polar opposites in style, approach and subject matter. My main criticism of Bukowski is that he wrote too many poems that were repetitions of better work he had done earlier.
