Thank you!

The poem was about his writing another boring poem about the racetrack, and he talked about his struggle to take his penis out to urinate, because his boxers were on the wrong way around. I thought it was in the collection Dangling in the Tournefortia; however, I can't find it. Can anyone help...

"An intellectual is a man who says a simple thing in a difficult way; an artist is a man who says a difficult thing in a simple way." ― Charles Bukowski Notes of a Dirty Old Man (1969) Possibly something such as the below...

I find the last line, where he talks about “novice readers”, to be offensive and patronising. It reminds me of the way colonialist academics in my country would talk about the art and culture of "primitive" tribes. As for the phrase “genuine challenges of poetry”. Please! I read the whole...

I usually drink whatever guest ale they have on tap.

A prize-winning poetry collection in the UK might make the poet £500 in royalties.

I have purchased seventeen books of Bukowski since April 2016. I purchased nine yesterday. I'm sorry that you have upset you.

Wow! Not heard of him until now; however, I'll definitely be chasing up more of his work. Thanks for the recommendation, the only good poet! His work is free to purchase on the Bloodaxe website too; however, you still need to add your credit card details. I think it's a mistake on the Bloodaxe...

Cheers. Looks like a research project. Is that information available in a reader-friendly one-click-one-download version of just the poems?

In terms of the plain everyday-ordinariness of Bukowski, I would recommend M.A.Griffiths. She's much more twee, and polished, but I still find her poetry very enjoyable to read. Take the last couplet from her poem "For Sarah". When Sarah's shagged across a stranger's bonnet, She'll not give a...

"Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning, and you have the heaven they are looking for." "People are pointless." "Nature is not normal." "Pain is absurd, because it exists." "The free soul is rare, but you know it when you see it...

Lol. "Wisdom is doing everything the crowd does not do. All you do is reverse the totality of their learning, and you have the heaven they are looking for." — Charles Bukowski.

I'll keep my eyes out for that one. Fingers crossed. Thanks mjp.

Cheers guys. Much appreciated. Thanks.

Thanks for your detailed reply Purple Stickpin. Thanks. I guess I'll buy up the books mjp mentioned. I've already ordered two books from eBay, and the rest are available from Amazon (UK) at a reasonable price. It would be great if there were a publication, official or unofficial, of all the...

Is that really all of the poetry collections that he published in his lifetime? I'll start adding them to my basket. Thank you mjp. It would be great if there were a one-click "boxset" of all the poetry collections he published in his lifetime. Thanks.

Has anyone produced an official/unofficial publication of Bukowski's collected posthumous poems, in their unedited form?

Is there anywhere where I can get a hold of the complete poems of Charles Bukowski? I have dribs and drabs of poems from online sources, and I own The Pleasures of the Damned; however, I'd love to have access to all of the poems. I'm probably more concerned with the stuff published in his...
