(P/B) THE CONTINUAL CONDITION

Παρουσίαση

Arguably the most imitated and influential American poet of the previous half-century, Charles Bukowski remains a counter-culture icon more than a decade after his death. The Continual Condition is a collection of never-before-published poems by the inimitable Bukowski-raw, tough, odes to alcohol, women, work, and despair by a rebel author equally adept at poetry and prose. Charles Bukowski lives on in The Continual Condition, a godsend for admirers of his previous collections Slouching Toward Nirvana, The Pleasures of the Damned, and Love is a Dog From Hell, as well as his novels Factotum, Ham on Rye, and Pulp.

died 9 april 1553
thanks for the luck
my art form
rejected
full circle
the continual condition
let's have some fun
to kiss her long dark hair
waste
the recess bells of school
the wasted profession
the strange morning
feeling good in the new neighborhood
this kind of fire
unemployed
tough cob
the last race
my soul is gone
the theory
more than ow
dog times
I might get traded
faux pas
about a worried reader of my works:
the agnostic
a good place
the legend
you've seen it on the barstool next to you-
never
a hot sweaty day in August
news item
comeback
this flag not fondly waving
mannequins
my answer
under the suckerfish sun
I am chastised
a fine madness
a consistent sort
the old movie star
trying to dry out
consummation
before the 7th race
morning after
heavy dogs in cement shoes
down the hatch
tragedy?
listening to the radio at 1:35 a.m.
perfect silence
mirror mirror on the wall
parts dept.
dear editor:
lack of a common interest
I'm upstairs now
as Buddha smiles
what have I seen?
a correspondent wrote bitterly:
moving toward age 73:
I saw a tramp last night
mountain of horror
the last winter
bent
bayonets in candlelight
