You Get So Alone At Times That it Just Makes Sense

Charles Bukowski examines cats and his childhood in You Get So Alone at Times, a book of poetry that reveals his tender side. The iconic tortured artist/everyman delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions."The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles."-Joyce Carol Oates"He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels."-Leonard Cohen, songwriter "well, that's just the way it is..." sometimes when everything seems at its worst when all conspires and gnaws and the hours, days, weeks years seem wasted-- stretched there upon my bed in the dark looking upward at the ceiling I get what many will consider an obnoxious thought: it's still nice to be Bukowski.
