內容簡介
內容簡介 "The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles."--Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author "He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels."--Leonard Cohen, songwriter Play the Piano introduces Charles Bukowski's poetry from the 1970s. He leads a life full of gambling and booze but also finds love. These poems are full of lechery and romance as he struggles to mature. No apologies. No punches pulled. Confessional Poetry: Unflinching poems that stare into the mirror at a life of cheap rooms, hard drinking, and harder women. Gritty Realism: From the slaughterhouse to the racetrack bar, Bukowski finds the ugly, brutal truth of the everyday. Tender and Vicious: A world of bitter arguments and drunken nights, where moments of unexpected love and romance still manage to break through. A Singular Voice: The iconic, plain-spoken style that made Charles Bukowski one of the most imitated poets in American literature.
