Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame by Charles Bukowski

Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame by Charles Bukowski

This collection gathers Bukowski's poetry from 1955 to 1973, covering the drinking, gambling, working-class jobs and rough relationships that defined much of his life and writing, in the direct, unadorned, deliberately unglamorous style that made him a countercultural favourite.

Bukowski wrote about degradation and small moments of grace with the same flat, unsentimental voice, refusing the elevated diction of traditional poetry in favour of plain language drawn from bars, racetracks and cheap apartments, and this collection captures his voice developing across nearly two decades.

A substantial selection spanning two decades of Bukowski's raw, influential poetry.
