Abel Debritto. Essential Bukowski: Poetry
COPYRIGHT
CONTENTS
INTRODUCTION
friendly advice to a lot of young men, and a lot of old men, too
as the sparrow
layover
the life of Borodin
when Hugo Wolf went mad
destroying beauty
the day I kicked a bankroll out the window
the twins
to the whore who took my poems
the loser
the best way to get famous is to run away
the tragedy of the leaves
old man, dead in a room
the priest and the matador
the state of world affairs from a 3rd floor window
the swan
beans with garlic
a poem is a city
consummation of grief
for Jane: with all the love I had, which was not enough
for Jane
john dillinger and le chasseur maudit
crucifix in a deathhand
something for the touts, the nuns, the grocery clerks and you . .
no. 6
and the moon and the stars and the world:
true story
the genius of the crowd
I met a genius
swastika star buttoned to my ass
the blackbirds are rough today
if we take—
another academy
the poetry reading
the last days of the suicide kid
the shower
the mockingbird
style
girl in a miniskirt reading the Bible outside my window
the shoelace
those sons of bitches
hot
trouble with Spain
a radio with guts
some people never go crazy
the fisherman
the trash men
face of a political candidate on a street billboard
the proud thin dying
an almost made up poem
a love poem for all the women I have known
art
what they want
one for the shoeshine man
the meek have inherited
who in the hell is Tom Jones?
and a horse with greenblue eyes walks on the sun
an acceptance slip
the end of a short affair
I made a mistake
$$$$$$
metamorphosis
we’ve got to communicate
the secret of my endurance
Carson McCullers
sparks
the history of a tough motherfucker
oh, yes
retirement
luck
cornered
how is your heart?
the burning of the dream
hell is a lonely place
the strongest of the strange
8 count
we ain’t got no money, honey, but we got rain
flophouse
the soldier, his wife and the bum
no leaders
Dinosauria, we
nirvana
the bluebird
the secret
fan letter
to lean back into it
the condition book
a new war
the laughing heart
roll the dice
so now?
the crunch
