A new book of unpublished poems from one of America's best-known contemporary writers and its most influential and imitated poet. Although he published over 45 volumes of poetry during his lifetime, Charles Bukowski and his publisher put aside hundreds of his best poems to be published after his death. Now available for the first time in the UK, this new book represents the fourth in a series of new volumes to be released over coming years.
"'A LAUREATE OF AMERICAN LOW LIFE' TIME"
Charles Bukowski was one of America's best-known writers and one of its most influential and imitated poets. His slum upbringing, his succession of menial jobs and his experience of gritty urban America are all reflected in his Best Generation writing and poetry, for which he became a cult figure.
