A review by spiffysarahruby
The People Look Like Flowers at Last by John Martin, Charles Bukowski

4.0

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!
