'The best poet in America' Jean Genet 'He brought everybody down to
earth, even the angels' Leonard Cohen The definitive collection
from a writer whose transgressive legacy and raw, funny, acutely
observant writing has left an enduring mark Here is Bukowski eating
walnuts and scratching his back, rolling a cigarette while
listening to Brahms, showering with Linda in the mid-afternoon.
Here is Bukowski knowing that the secret is beyond him, that people
who never go crazy live truly horrible lives, that there's a
bluebird in his heart that wants to get out. Here is Bukowski at
his most hilarious and heart-breaking, his most raw and profound;
here is Bukowski at his best.

In On Love, we see Charles Bukowski reckoning with the
complications of love and desire. Alternating between the tough and
the tender, the romantic and the gritty, Bukowski exposes the
myriad faces of love in the poems collected here - its selfishness
and its narcissism, its randomness, its mystery and its misery,
and, ultimately, its true joyfulness, endurance and redemptive
power. Whether writing about his daughter, his lover, or his work,
Bukowski is fiercely honest and reflective, using love as a prism
to look at the world and to view his own vulnerable place in it.

A collection of previously unpublished letters from America's cult
icon on the art of writing. 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 In the previously unpublished letters to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.
