Edited by Abel Debritto, the definitive collection of poems from an influential writer whose transgressive legacy and raw, funny, and acutely observant writing has left an enduring mark on modern culture. Few writers have so brilliantly and poignantly conjured the desperation and absurdity of ordinary life as Charles Bukowski. Resonant with his powerful, perceptive voice, his visceral, hilarious, and transcendent poetry speaks to us as forcefully today as when it was written. Encompassing a wide range of subjects—from love to death and sex to writing—Bukowski’s unvarnished and self-deprecating verse illuminates the deepest and most enduring concerns of the human condition while remaining sharply aware of the day to day. With his acute eye for the ridiculous and the troubled, Bukowski speaks to the deepest longings and strangest predilections of the human experience. Gloomy yet hopeful, this is tough, unrelenting poetry touched by grace. This is Essential Bukowski.

The never-before-published letters of Charles Bukowski on the art of writing.

Pro Charlese Bukowského byla kočka „krásný ďábel“, nezdolný bojovník a lovec, nevypočitatelná myslící bytost, vzbuzující respekt a obdiv. Svazek O kočkách shromažďuje autorovy texty, v nichž kočky hrají hlavní roli. Jeho kočky jsou divoké a panovačné, Bukowski je zachycuje, jak pronásledují svou kořist, válí se a procházejí po popsaných stránkách, probouzejí ho tím, že mu zaboří tlapky do obličeje. Jsou to však i tvorové přítulní a láskyplní, kteří autora inspirují a probouzejí v něm potřebu něžné a neustálé péče.
