Hot Water Music - three dozen of Bukowski (1998) ISBN: 4880082465

The poems feel so visceral and authentic—I'm curious how much of his own life was directly channeled into this collection.

Some lines hit so hard with their vulnerability that I wondered if Bukowski was exposing parts of himself I wasn't prepared for.

The themes seem interconnected, but I wonder if there was a particular story or mood Bukowski wanted to evoke with this selection.
