Likely to stand as the definitive volume of Bukowski's poemsHe brought everybody down to earth,even the angelsThe best poet in AmericaA laureate of American low lifeBukowski wrote poetry as minimal as a bullet. He could be funny and heartbreaking in the same sentenceThis bulbous collection contains a frankly astonishing amount of poems - it's a paperback of such great dimensions that it could be wood-paneled and used as a small barExtraordinary: unsentimental,vigorous and profound
