Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame

A good read

Bought for my neice for her studies and she loved it.

Very interesting,thought provoking, & informative. This was an excellent introduction to the work of Bukowski,whos work I had not read before

Good book in a very good condition. Like his writing although this one is not one of my favourites one from him.

Bukowski's poetry is burning matter, perhaps more of the acid kind than the flaming variety. Always love his poetry, rather better than his novels. Cannot go wrong with Bukowksi if you can appreciate his raunchy style and sarcasm.

Great collection of poems, really engaging read

As a first time it’s good to have a Bukowski book of his poetry

Perhaps his best poetry here. Fell in love with it after just the first few poems. Buk at his formidable best. Get it people!

Another great Bukowski collection - his poetry is straightforward and about life in its every sense - the magic and the mundane. I'm a big fan, but he's often a hit or miss for people because of his style and subject matter.

Pithy, gutsy street poetry from Bukowski

Buen libro, llegó un día antes

Ohne ihn persönlich gekannt zu haben ;) würde ich sagen, dass dieser Sammelband einen echten, rohen Bukowski zeigt. Seine Texte in Prosa sind nicht immer einfach zu lesen, wirken holperig zunächst.. aber man wird feststellen, dass sie eine ungeheure Wucht haben. Einsamkeit, Sehnsucht, Wut, Verzweiflung - oft mit wenigen einfachen, oft dreckigen Worten ausgedrückt. Schön gedacht ist der (wohl originale) Satz der Werke mit teilweise nur einem Wort pro Zeile. Leider ist das Druckbild etwas schmierig und unsauber. Liegt wohl am Recyclingpapier auf dem es gedruckt ist.

Recently Finished this.....Some great Gems .... His early work.... This is where he started so its a good book for hardcore Buck Fans. Not recommended for someone who is going to read him for the first time.
