Hoilo na bro.
I'm sure I'd have liked this some other day.
Too many shitty poems in here. Some good lines. A few great ones. But too much bluster.
I liked the beef tongue. This would have been a good book. It's not poetry.
I was underwhelmed.
It still made me cry.

So far this is hands down my favorite writings from Bukowski, an honest collection of reminiscing while facing death as the book proceeds.

I love quotes and have come across so many excellent Bukowski quotes on Pinterest, that I decided to go ahead and try his poetry--and I don't read poetry.
I think, like most people, I was just intimdated by poetry, but I mostly felt turned off by it by having it shoved down my throat so much in school. I'm glad I gave this a chance though.
Bukowski's writing is just honest and gritty (nothing anybody hasn't said before) and was surprisingly accessible and enjoyable. I might even have to read more!
