Bukowski quotes on life, death, love, writing....
switterbeet: Back in December, I read my first ever full work/collection by Bukowski. I first discovered him online (if we covered him in any of my English classes, I don’t remember) and fell in love with the pieces I’d seen quoted. I couldn’t wait to get my hands on one of his works. I chose Mockingbird Wish Me Luck because I knew it contained the poem I liked best so far, “Making It.” I adore the line “just make it, babe, make it” so so so much. I’d like to get a tattoo of it someday. Upon reading more, though, I found I also really dig “The Colored Birds.” I found it very powerful and moving. I don’t typically care too much for poetry, but I absolutely enjoyed these.  I will definitely be getting more Bukowski immediately if not sooner, I’m thinking of trying one of his novels next.
