    <body><![CDATA[This is supposedly the last of Bukowski's collections to be published after his death in 1994. However,I see that Pleasures of the Damned is also out so that's probably not true.<br/><br/>This was a good collection of poems although it's not in my top 5 of his. Sorry Buk!

Shrugged-off sentimentality.  As I get older, I am loving his later works, published after his death.  This is good stuff about death and dy...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/61916875">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I find Bukowski's poetry to be very hit-or-miss. Out of over 300 pages, there were approximately three poems that I liked in their entirety. Otherwise, there are the occasional lines that resonate buried beneath the less interesting--and more frequent--lines that hardly seem like poetry at all. <br/>...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/37368235">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I liked this one better than the last couple volumes they put together of the posthumous poems.  These ones just seemed to hang together better.
