I'm Nev - a newbie here and to Bukowski. My frst book im reading of his are a set of poems from 1974 -1977 - Love is a Dog from Hell. i didnt know anything aboutthe guy until i picked up this book in a bookstore in East London and i read a few poems in the shop and i had to buy them.

if anyone could direct me to the best place to discuss these paricular poems then that would be great.

Have a Great Day!

Hey Nev, you came to the right spot. The link Black Swan provided will get the ball rolling.

I'd suggest reading the novel, WOMEN, next. It is a bit of a companion to Love is a Dog From Hell.

Hello and welcome.

Many many thanks all - it's almost daunting the reading i'll have to do but i'll try not to pressure myself to binge read this mans' work as it will just end up in me being a visceral mess of a fan.

Thanks Philly Dave, Black Swan (the link was so useful), bukfan78, bospress.net (i will get WOMEN for christmas and read it alongside),mjp & dirtydoh.

now, i'm going to find an appropriate place to post my musings on Tonight...

 

[BUKFAN78]

Enjoy Women for Xmas Nev UK.

You're really not going to have much of a chance avoiding a binge read. Anyone he speaks to in the first dozen pages will be scrambling for the next book like Christie at an all you can eat doughnut and graft buffet.

I hear you Damon - i'm rekindling friendships for the sole purpose of getting them to buy me bukowski books for my birthday or for my kindle. I finally get why they called it Kindle.
