Really nice! “Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside - remembering all the times you've felt that way”
This is certainly the older writings of Bukowski and vastly different from his later poetry and novels. He really studied the old writers and knew his craft very well. These older writings are more of what he was trying to break away from but even still they retain his raw and new style, he covered his true vision and potential in poetic words and fancy wording but he was really shooting for something more as he did later in his later career
Listening to the first poem it reminds me a lot of the way the rock man talks in the Neverending story. Very similar intonation, rhythms. "The nothing will be here any minute. I will just sit here and let it talk me away too."
He really is the only one that tells it like it really is , was , & will always be ! One of a kind & absolutely the best , stirs my soul every time I hear his voice thank you for your time on this day & tomorrow!!
Well he tells it like it really is for himself it's his authentic perception it's honest but it's not true for everyone not everyone is an alcoholic poet from Germany living in the L.A. slums former letter carrier abused as a child etc.
Yes, I love Bukowski's voice and his long form interview series helped me get out of a funk a few years back... It used to be on CZcams but they took it down

@rob87 Published in 1977 but recorded in 1966, that's why he's way to informal. by 77 he was published, and was cutting back on live performances. Also, you'll find no of his poetry of the 70s
@@ALLCAPS that’s the novel that got me into Buk! After that I couldn’t stop reading him. I listened to everything after that from The Postoffice to Pulp, and how he’s probably my favorite along with hunter S Thompson. I must have forgot I was here because I didn’t know who MF Doom was until I heard about his passing. Not a big rap fan but I listened to a few of his songs and they’re pretty cool
I try to upload content which isn't already on youtube. I might look into this. I have the original copy of this on my computer so I don't have to use anybody else's video but Thank you for the suggestion! :)
Yes I was given a strike for copyright by those greedy sons of bitches. I posted about it on my channel's discussion. I'll find another way to get that video up and out there.. perhaps on Jordan B Peterson's ThinkSpot since I've posted things there successfully before.

Why did he run away? Where Is that perfect family?Who cooks delicious food that he never had ? Only think l can say he hated me so much l just don't know why people hate so much? He knew all about myself and dumped in that such manner wasn't that humane Yes l remmber what l said to conor l went to hospital everyday to get the corpe for10 days l told cornor If you don't give me corpe today you have it and eat it we won't come to fetch it again That's it They all ready to arrange every thing immediately. I was safe all interrogation I had a letter asking from the doctor that l was asking special request to take to hospital against his will They were always ready lock
me up. and now asking my sympathy whom is not so important treated like a piece of sod Certainly there are plenty of kind women around the world. All l can wish that you will find someone according to your desire who can cook delicious food cure your longing for home made food Not Mcdonold fried chicken. That's was last.. worse thing you made had enough of you I just felt it was utter and disgusting insult in public
9 to 5 The hours of my slavery and misery Physically and mentally . The anxiety of having everything ready for work. Or setting an alarm and hoping that my short nap doesn't keep me from missing my alarm that would make my boss judge me for being late . The hours I spend watching the clock and calculating the freedom to do as I please before going to work is poisoned by the anxiety of being late to a job that doesn't pay enough for the simplest necessities. The anxiety and fear of ruining my reputation for a job that I could care less about as I make my lunch and bag my tasteless water to please my anxiety of gaining weight . The sick feeling I get from living a pointless life to please the culture I want no part of . I listen to music and podcast to escape this anxiety and uncertainty of my future that I've not planned or thought out a way out of . yet not having this slavery job would bring more anxiety so I do as I am told and conform to the culture that I've been brainwashed into serving. The only thing I have is a mental rebellion to one day find a way to talk myself out of this trap or to find someone to help me out. I pray that 9n3 day their will be a road I can run as fast as I can down and escape this rat race . Until then I drink and write to keep me sane and survive this mental prison.
Have courage friend. You will find that throwing yourself in to the abyss of uncertainty is akin to landing on a feather bed. Be brave, risk it all for this is YOUR life to command.
Really nice!
“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think, I'm not going to make it, but you laugh inside - remembering all the times you've felt that way”
I just love all these upbeat poems! Gets me going!
Guys voice is a legend. As is most of his writings.
R.I.P Bukowski n' MF DOOM, they never followed commercial art, great artists.
Are these mediums equitable given the artists?
A poet doesn’t copy
@@insightandsoundful hahahahaha
DOOM. Yes he co starred in the movie
The hairy hairy fist and love will die might be my favorite work of his
This is awesome. It's so comforting.
Colonel Kurtz on a good day.

.. not important, listening to rick danko don’t do it..

Older is better before he starts the sober gambling writing
@@crochetvampire I dont know if he was ever sober persay but I get what you mean. the older work of writers seems to always be the best.

Please the poet
Reminds me of W.C. Fields talking.
Love the alcohol-visuals.
Thanks for this brother!

The Hairy Hairy Fist...is this the best Buk poem? It may be...although all these are total gems.

Truth is always sweet

Bukowski needed to look at himself over others. Problem was when he did he led himself into the same pain.
I rather not “try”
