Description
Bukowski's unmistakable charisma – an ex-down-and-outer who wrote of booze and loneliness in maverick, confident free verse – made him one of the world's most popular poets long before he died in 1994. More than a decade later, death has not slowed his production.
This collection, Come On In!, is selected from an archive of verse that the author left to be published after his death. It includes poems of love and sex, advice to so-called losers (as he once was) to have confidence in themselves (as he did), gambling laments, and humbling poems accepting his own imminent ultimate full stop.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Come On In! by Charles Bukowski is celebrated for its raw and unfiltered exploration of human nature, encapsulating both humour and melancholy. Critics admire Bukowski's candid portrayal of society's often overlooked figures, resonating with themes of nonconformity. His writing continues to captivate adult audiences with its gritty realism and unapologetic insights.

About the Author
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 Andernach, Germany, and raised in Los Angeles, where he lived for fifty years. He published his first story in 1944, when he was twenty-four, and began writing poetry at the age of thirty-five. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp (1994).
