@@rambo3801 If you think how your readers will read your poetry, you're already responsible for them. Then again, just write for yourself if you want to! :) All the best
I have to agree with Bukowski on this. Tolstoy is dull, dostoevsky on the other hand, is godly, his work is incredible, every line needs its own meaning and soul
Bukowski admired Dostoevsky. He even wrote about him in this poem, which is pretty great. Dostoevsky is, in my opinion, one of the greatest writers in history. czcams.com/video/i6zm3zyC2b0/video.html
Buk got me through some hard times in the '80s. I wrote and starved in a two-room apartment under a 100-year-old funeral home while the rats danced in the walls and the ceiling dripped into a plastic barrel. I wrote Buk a letter, but never mailed it. Too bad. He probably would've answered. Now it's too late.
He might have answered it. I am a visual artist and, at one point, there was a huge studio available above a funeral home. I decided to respect my unknown limits and not rent it. So closely linked to Buke is Tom Waits. I did write him, in the 1980s. Wanted to use one of his songs in a small theatrical presentation. He was very gracious, friendly, and generous.
"There are worse things than being alone but it often takes decades to realize this and most often when you do it's too late and there's nothing worse than too late." ~Bukowski
“Writing a poem is like beer shit” I love that analogy! It was totally unexpected too. What he’s going to say next is very unpredictable and that’s what I like about him. I’m just discovering this guy now at the age of 39! I’m looking forward to reading some of his work. I like that wasn’t afraid to say he doesn’t like some of the work that you’re supposed to like so that you can be accepted and thought of as intelligent. It’s almost as though you are not allowed to critique some work. I think many people pretend to like and understand Shakespeare and Tolstoy etc as to appear intellectual. You need to be honest and say what you think about books, movies, plays etc.
I love that people see poetry as this beautiful, sacred thing and would likely opt to use a metaphor with more "pretty" imagery to describe it than that, but here is one of the greats comparing it to one of the less mentioned bodily functions. And it works perfectly. Excellent.
Same here. I love his poetry but I don’t think I could be around the guy but so much without getting agitated by the negativity he emits. But hey, we all perceive things differently.
@@bradmizzou correct he was more of a realist than a pessimist...most people are assholes and it's good to stay away from them if u can...it's no wonder monks and yogis and shamans living lives of solitude have been the most peaceful blissful humans...bukowski said it himself "the absence of humanity is a fulfillment so graceful that even god would understand if he invented them which he probably didn't"
"Nothing should ever be done, that should be done - it has to come out. Like a good hot beer shit. A good hot beer shit is glorious man. You get up, you turn around, you look at it, you're proud - the fumes, the stink of the turd - you say god I did it, I'm good. Then you flush it away and there is the sense of sadness when just water is there. It's like writing a good poem - it's a beer shit - there is nothing to analyze or say - it's just done - got it?" - Bukowski beer shit quote
A good beer shit . Seems to sum it up perfectly and as well seem to do the poet an injustice . Affirmation and contradiction in the same phrase . Its magical and perfect . Love Bukowski.
Poetry is not poetry if you are trying to make it poetry. Poetry is simple, just being you, and saying what you really feel. It's not a show or about trying to impress people...the dog walked down the street, and a nice hot beer shit, that's poetry...simple human nature...SBN RESONATE
Man...he blew my mind and changed my perspective on how to write a story. I will never flush a shit down the toilet the same way again. Changing lives, one shit story at a time. Thank you sir RIP
I always enjoy listening to Charles Bukwoski he said what needed to be said....I just love it when he opens his mouth. Poetry is the only home for some authors and they need to hear this!
Sir , Thank you for all that you have done for me in my life. You helped me build my perspective. And you have also encouraged me to continue learning English and using as many words as I can to expand my vernacular. Your words are great. Because you are your words.
CHARLES BUKOWSKI'S SPIRIT SPEAKING In the gritty details, where souls collide, Beauty's an extraordinary beast to ride. Couldn't beat that truth, so I fought on, Wrestling with thoughts, tears streaming strong. I ground those tears, every damn notion, In the arena of my relentless devotion. Sought meaning, dug deep in my mind's dirt, Struggled through the trenches, not one to skirt. Yeah, it's the soul's nitty-gritty, the raw affair, That makes beauty shine, I swear and declare. In every scar, every gritty fragment I found, A damn extraordinary tale would resound. That universal truth, it had me pinned, But I brawled and bled, wouldn't let it win. Tears and thoughts, a cacophony in my head, Bukowski-style, I fought till they bled. So take those tears, let 'em soak the page, Unleash 'em, ignite the poet's raging rage. Embrace the details, don't shy from the brawl, For it's in the fight, we find beauty's call. Yeah, let this poem bear the Bukowski mark, With grit and truth, a poetic spark. In the trenches, amid the tears that flow, Discover extraordinary beauty, don't let it go. :: 06.02.2023 ::

Especially if your a Guninnes drinker. Nothing like it.
Better then a cold one if your beer bonging them constantly. Otherwise 🧠 =🥶

Such as a woman who’s life had slipped away into sorrow. Always found that line tragically beautiful.
its kind of like watching cringey tik tok videos.
It's how he copes I guess.
Charles Bukowski is the only person that can make taking shit sound so profoundly beautiful.
He seen through all those boring pretentious poets and called it shit. I thought I was dumb for not liking it but now I see.

CHARLES BUKOWSKI'S SPIRIT SPEAKING
In the gritty details, where souls collide,
Beauty's an extraordinary beast to ride.
Couldn't beat that truth, so I fought on,
Wrestling with thoughts, tears streaming strong.
I ground those tears, every damn notion,
In the arena of my relentless devotion.
Sought meaning, dug deep in my mind's dirt,
Struggled through the trenches, not one to skirt.
Yeah, it's the soul's nitty-gritty, the raw affair,
That makes beauty shine, I swear and declare.
In every scar, every gritty fragment I found,
A damn extraordinary tale would resound.
That universal truth, it had me pinned,
But I brawled and bled, wouldn't let it win.
Tears and thoughts, a cacophony in my head,
Bukowski-style, I fought till they bled.
So take those tears, let 'em soak the page,
Unleash 'em, ignite the poet's raging rage.
Embrace the details, don't shy from the brawl,
For it's in the fight, we find beauty's call.
Yeah, let this poem bear the Bukowski mark,
With grit and truth, a poetic spark.
In the trenches, amid the tears that flow,
Discover extraordinary beauty, don't let it go.
