The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.--Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author
He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.--Leonard Cohen, songwriter
There is not a wasted word in Dangling in the Tournefortia, a selection of poems full of wit, struggles, perception, and simplicity. Charles Bukowski writes of women, gambling and booze while his words remain honest and pure.
This collection delivers Bukowski at his most potent:
- Booze-Soaked Prose: Poems written from the bottom of a bottle, chronicling the lives of drunks, whores, and gamblers with an unflinching eye.
- Raw Honesty: Not a single wasted word. Bukowski cuts to the bone, finding a strange purity in the struggles of the everyday.
- The Underbelly of LA: From cheap apartments to the racetrack, experience the Los Angeles that postcards ignore, captured by its most famous and infamous poet laureate.
- Beat Generation Voice: A landmark collection from a legendary voice in American poetry who brought everybody down to earth--even the angels.
