Charles Bukowski-"People simply empty out"
I'm a fan of Charles Bukowski's poetry.
There is a lot about Bukowski that is rude and offensive and contains things that are very unseemly.
I would not let my minor child read his stuff, nor ever quote it in church.
That said, life can be unseemly, not all truth is expressed wrapped up in a pretty bow, and life
cannot be kept sanitized for our protection like a fancy hotel toilet seat. Bukowski has a point of
view that is not easily found in literature that is refreshing at times.
The website Letters of Note featured a letter from Bukowski to his editor that I really enjoyed
a lot. Click the link below to read it.
