The poems of prolific poet and author\u00a0Charles Bukowski\u00a0drudge through the mundane aspects of everyday life \u2013 work, life, relationships. But there is a bittersweet candidness to his observations that pull at the universal human condition, and that\u2019s what continues to arrest readers today. In 1986,\u00a0Time Magazine<\/em>\u00a0called Bukowski the \u2018laureate of American lowlife.\u2019 That may be true, but he\u2019s also the laureate of\u00a0Los Angeles, the city whose underbelly inspired the ethos of so many of his works. Read on to get acquainted with Bukowski on his own terms in these eight poems.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
