Description

Bukowski, Charles. Santa Rosa, CA: Black Sparrow Press 1993 . Second printing. Trade paperback. 405 pages. A solid copy with only light wear. “Bukowski remembers the first time he read great authors or heard classical composers; he reflects on old friends, co-workers, and lovers, but with a new gentleness, as in ‘Darkling,’ a wonderfully lyric love poem to his wife. Poems such as this make it easier to spot the poetic craft at work behind Bukowski’s understated common speech. Finally, the poet’s emphasis on reflection and mellowed tone will, one hopes, enlarge the poet’s huge but specialized readership.” – LJ Book: Very Good. Dust Jacket: .
