About this ebook
“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates, bestselling author
“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter
War All the Time is a selection of poetry from the early 1980s. Charles Bukowski shows that he is still as pure as ever but he has evolved into a slightly happier man that has found some fame and love. These poems show how he grapples with his past and future colliding.
Charles Bukowski
Charles Bukowski is one of America’s best-known contemporary writers of poetry and prose and, many would claim, its most influential and imitated poet. He was born in 1920 in Andernach, Germany, to an American soldier father and a German mother, and brought to the United States at the age of two. He was raised in Los Angeles and lived there for over fifty years. He died in San Pedro, California, on March 9, 1994, at the age of seventy-three, shortly after completing his last novel, Pulp. Abel Debritto, a former Fulbright scholar and current Marie Curie fellow, works in the digital humanities. He is the author of Charles Bukowski, King of the Underground, and the editor of the Bukowski collections On Writing, On Cats, and On Love.

Reviews for War All the Time
6 ratings2 reviews
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Oh, to be 22 again and drunk all summer long...memories are made of this. And still I have tender feelings towards Bukowski.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Containing easily Bukowski's greatest horse race poem, "Horsemeat", War All The Time stands out in Bukowski's poetic constellation. The rest of the book is above-average and goes down nicely with Love Is A Dog From Hell and Last Night Of The Earth Poems. I would highly recommend this book for those new to Bukowski and those looking for the better part of his material.
