<p>To his legions of fans, Charles Bukowski was--and remains--the quintessential counterculture icon. A hard-drinking wild man of literature and a stubborn outsider to the poetry world, he wrote unflinchingly about booze, work, and women, in raw, street-tough poems whose truth has struck a chord with generations of readers.</p><p>Edited by John Martin, the legendary publisher of Black Sparrow Press and a close friend of Bukowski's, <em>The Pleasures of the Damned</em> is a selection of the best works from Bukowski's long poetic career, including the last of his never-before-collected poems. Celebrating the full range of the poet's extra-ordinary and surprising sensibility, and his uncompromising linguistic brilliance, these poems cover a rich lifetime of experiences and speak to Bukowski's immense intelligence, the caring heart that saw through the sham of our pretenses and had pity on our human condition (<em>The New York Quarterly</em>). <em>The Pleasures of the Damned</em> is an astonishing poetic treasure trove, essential reading for both longtime fans and those just discovering this unique and legendary American voice.</p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles Bukowski<br><b>Publisher:</b> Ecco Press<br><b>Published:</b> 12/02/2008<br><b>Pages:</b> 576<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 1.35lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 9.10h x 6.00w x 1.40d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780061228445<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> 01/11/2009 pg. 20
