ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From the "Poes a port til /Portable Poetry" collection, this is Charles Bukowski's poetic image of living on the edge. Bukowski sinks his lyrics into drugs, sex, and dirty realism of the most oppressed; a misery that was always in search of beauty.

A cult writer throughout Europe, Charles Bukowski used poetry to describe a corrupt and deviant urban life and shed light on the most oppressed social classes in American society. A creative writer and dirty realism icon, he combined emotion and imagination with a direct language describing violent and sexual images. His poems are a reflection of his intense personality, the result of a life lived on the edge.

Born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, son of an American soldier and a German seamstress, Bukowski moved to Los Angeles with his family as a child. A prose and poetry writer, his texts are almost always autobiographical - starring himself or his alter ego Henry Chinasky - and they most often fall on the wildest side of life with an aggressive and brutal language. Bukowski published more than forty books including collections of stories, poems, and novels. He died in San Pedro, California in 1994.
