Hello, I’m 17 and i’m new to Bukowski, but for school i’ve chosen to do an essay on some of his poetry after watching a youtube video on him called ‘Don’t try’.
I need to write about him from a Marxist perspective though, and I know that he wasn’t very political but seeing as he wrote a lot about working-class Americans, I thought this would be a good idea.
Would anyone be able to recommend me some of his poems that would be good for this?
p.s. I’ve just bought ‘The Pleasures of The Damned’ poetry collection.
