Question:

About Charles Bukowski?

what do you guys think about his poetry


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

G'day Artemio,

Thank you for your question.

Charles Bukowski was a prolific writer and poet who has influenced the work of many poets. He wrote frequently about LA. His perspective was that of a slobby bachelor free of inhibitions which I can relate to. However, he was married. He also wrote about problems with alcoholism.

Despite his influence, he has received relatively little critical attention. However, his work has been made into several films such as Barfly starring Mickey Rourke and Tales of Ordinary Madness.

I have attached sources for your reference.
