>he wants to make fun of my generation
Are you one of those millennials?

Not that it matters

is charles bukowski only good for edgy depressed teenagers, or is he a solid, legit poet? Tell me your opinions, /lit.

There are quite a few biographies of Charles Bukowski out there. Which is the best one?

do you have to be ugly to be a great, "maudit", author? an I too cute to be a great author?

What's your opinion on him /lit?

What works do you like, don't and anyone similar?

once again
I hear of somebody who is going to
settle down and
do their work,
painting or writing or whatever,
as soon as they get a better light installed,
or as soon as they move to a new
city,
or as soon as they play comeback from the trip they
have been planning
or as soon as . . .

it’s simple: they just don’t want
to do it,
or they can’t do it,
otherwise they’d feel a burning
itch from hell
they could not ignore
and “soon”
would turn quickly into
“now”

Pretty good.

my father and the bum

my father believed in work.
he was proud to have a
job.
sometimes he didn’t have a
job and then he was very
ashamed.
he’d be so ashamed that he’d
leave the house in the morning
and then come back in the evening
so the neighbors wouldn’t
know.

me,
I liked the man next door:
he just sat in a chair in
his back yard and threw darts
at some circles he had painted
on the side of his garage.
in Los Angeles in 1930
he had a wisdom that
Goethe, Hegel, Kierkegaard,
Nietzsche, Freud,
Jaspers, Heidegger and
Toynbee would find hard
to deny.

I heard Bukowski once got so angry he grew with rage, literally. Witnesses say he grew 10 - 12 feet and turned completely red before shrinking back down to normal size when he was calm again
