The People Look Like Flowers At Last by Charles Bukowski Pdf

the gas line is leaking, the bird is gone from the cage, the skyline is dotted with vultures; Benny finally got off the stuff and Betty now has a job as a waitress; and the chimney sweep was quite delicate as he giggled up through the soot. I walked miles through the city and recognized nothing as a giant claw ate at my stomach while the inside of my head felt airy as if I was about to go mad. it’s not so much that nothing means anything but more that it keeps meaning nothing, there’s no release, just gurus and self- appointed gods and hucksters. the more people say, the less there is to say. even the best books are dry sawdust. —from "fingernails; nostrils; shoelaces"

Essential Bukowski by Charles Bukowski Pdf

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.

Last Call by Randall McNair Pdf

Beer goggles, whiskey staggers, and a martini for a muse create an old-fashioned cocktail of toughness in this saloon-centered book of verse. When it’s time to wind down at the end of the day, the comfort of a neighborhood dive can’t be beat. But when a poet starts downing drinks, the scribbled marks on his bar napkin result in a raw and rough-hewn look at man’s most heartfelt emotions. And with alcohol-driven acuity, this book helps every whistle-wetter, day-drinker, and bartender find new enjoyment in the hardships and happiness of mundane existence. From hilarious haiku to self-loathing limericks, soul-searcher and award-winning writer Randall McNair’s carefully honed craft shines in this drunkenly introspective measure of human consciousness. Covering a wide range of themes that confront the absurdities of life head-on, this collection showcases his willingness to drink the dregs and come back for more. If you’ve ever thought of poets as staid or incomprehensible, the burn of McNair’s high-proof stanzas will transform your viewpoint and take you on an unforgettable journey. Last Call is the third volume in the Bar Poems series of vividly chaotic verse. If you like honest humor, dark insights, and rhyming under the influence, then you’ll love Randall McNair’s top-shelf shot of poetry. Buy Last Call and stagger home to wisdom today!

On Writing by Charles Bukowski Pdf

'If a man truly desires to write, then he will. Rejection and ridicule will only strengthen him . . . There is no losing in writing, it will make your toes laugh as you sleep, it will make you stride like a tiger, it will fire the eye and put you face to face with death. You will die a fighter, you will be honored in hell. The luck of the word. Go with it, send it.' Charles Bukowski was one of our most iconoclastic, raw and riveting writers, one whose stories, poems and novels have left an enduring mark on our culture. On Writing collects Bukowski's reflections and ruminations on the craft he dedicated his life to. Piercing, unsentimental and often hilarious, On Writing is filled not only with memorable lines but also with the author's trademark toughness, leavened with moments of grace, pathos and intimacy. In the previously unpublished letters to editors, friends and fellow writers collected here, Bukowski is brutally frank about the drudgery of work and uncompromising when it comes to the absurdities of life and of art.
