I’ve been receiving a lot of questions from readers asking me to recommend a Bukowski poetry book.

Therefore I thought of making a small list for those who hesitate to ask. :)

Let me say first that what ever you choose you won’t make mistake because all of his books are great.

His most popular collection is: The Last Night of the Earth Poems.

Other blog readers also often recommend: Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame, The People Look Like Flowers at Last, Septuagenarian Stew , You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense, and  What Matters Most Is How Well You Walk Through the Fire. 

I also like: sifting through the madness for the word, the line, the way: New Poems 

This is not all, he wrote a lot so there is a lot to choose from. 

NOVEL

If you are a first time reader and want to read his novels, it is best if you start with his most famous ones: Post Office  and Ham on Rye
