Nov 03, Paul rated it really liked it. A very solid time frame for Bukowski. He was at the top of his writing powers, and letting his poems run free, without forcing them or thinking he had to be a Poet rather than a poet.

His poems here have a great deal of pain, a rather greater amount of pride, and the brash simplicity of his thoughts echo that subset of my own thoughts that are probably best left unstated. I often wonder how often Buk himself stated these thoughts out loud. It's very easy to confess your hatred and desires and t A very solid time frame for Bukowski.

It's very easy to confess your hatred and desires and the combination of the two to a beer can: I mean, I know he could be an asshole in real life He did it here and I like it. And it soothes me to know that I'm not alone. Mar 21, Philip Fullmam rated it it was amazing. I do this thing when I read poetry collections, I understand it's not uncommon.

When I read a poem that really resonates with me, I go to the table of contents and put a star next to the title. With this book I found I was going to put a mark next most every poem I read, it was becoming a distraction. I finally gave it up, and just read. Of all the Bukowski I have read, this is my favorite collection.

Aug 09, Kacey rated it really liked it Shelves: By the end, I was loving it. This collection reminded me of how much I like Bukowski's poems. They are all so raw and unfiltered and that's what makes them great for me. This isn't going to make sense but here goes: Some of these poems were good and some were not. But also, all of them seemed exactly the same. To me they were mostly indistinguishable from each other. I suppose I prefer Bukowski's novels to his poetry. Dec 23, Vishal rated it it was amazing. What else can I say about Bukowski's poetry, but that he inspires me to be one.

To channel all the cumulative suffering into the creation of something equally tragic but not as meaningless. Apr 15, Dane Cobain rated it really liked it. Overall though, this is just a rock solid poetry collection with some incredible chunks of wisdom on offer. Give it a go! Oct 07, Steven rated it it was ok.

Dangling in the Tournefortia - Charles Bukowski - Paperback

One of the weaker collections of Bukowski poetry I've ever read. Most of the poems were extremely similar, most of them were also quite bad with a couple good ones. Interestingly, I have a used copy of this, and the previous owner has written little notes all over it. All the notes are them talking shit about the especially bad poems. Jan 06, Brandon rated it liked it Shelves: Average collection of Bukowski poems, simple slices of life that are at times sort of boring.

Dangling in the Tournefortia

I hate it when Bukowski writes about his BMW, or when he complains about fans calling him on the phone. But all is not lost! There is a good cat poem in this collect "Bad Fix" and a good poem about his father "Slow Night".

Then there are two memorable and rather disturbing pedophilic poems: Feb 14, Tom Quinn rated it it was ok. I'm not a poetry fan, but I am a Bukowski fan.

Some of these poems leap off the page and attack your brain with a ferocity unlike anything else. Others are little more than prose with funny line breaks. It's a mixed bag. Plus the content grows repetitive. Maybe it was a bad idea to read them all one after another. But then again, it could be that I'm just a poetry-hating philistine.

Jun 23, Andrew rated it really liked it Shelves: When I read Bukowski's poems I always feel like we're at a bar together and have much to drink. He's learning over to me with awful breath and telling me every tale that he can think of. We've known each other awhile and he's not much interested in what I have to say, but that's never bothered me.
