Slouching Toward Nirvana New Poems

Informationen zum Autor Charles Bukowski  is one of America’s best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel,  Pulp . Abel Debritto , a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of  Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground , and the editor of the Bukowski collections  On Writing ,  On Cats , and  On Love . Klappentext in this place there are the dead, the deadly and the dying. there is the cross, the builders of the cross and the burners of the cross. the pattern of my life forms like a cheap shadow on the wall before me. my love what is left of it now must crawl to wherever it can crawl. the strongest know that death is final and the happiest are those gifted with the shortest journey. Zusammenfassung “Wordsworth, Whitman, William Carlos Williams, and The Beats in their respective generations moved poetry toward a more natural language. Bukowski moved it a little farther.”— Los Angeles Times Book Review “He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter Los Angeles slums, bars, and more are featured in Slouching Toward Nirvana , the third of five books of unpublished poems from Charles Bukowski, considered by many to be America’s most imitated and influential poet.
