Intellectually I can sometimes see what the writer is getting, but emotionally I'm usually lost. I'm not defending or arguing my position, just putting it out there. <br/> <br/>Having said all that Bukowski actually makes me feel him. I don't know if its the language, or the way its put together, but his imagery just hits me right in the middle of my heart. His way of making the most mundane things seem powerful is amazing. Love is a Dog From Hell, The Morning House Madrigals, Bone Palace Ballet, Betting on the Muse, War all the Time, etc... They are all worth reading. <br/><br/><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/list/1044149?utm_medium=api&utm_source=blog_review">View all my reviews.</a>
