About this audiobook
Charles Bukowski examines cats and his childhood in You Get So Alone at Times, a book of poetry that reveals his tender side. The iconic tortured artist/everyman delves into his youth to analyze its repercussions.
“The Walt Whitman of Los Angeles.”—Joyce Carol Oates
“He brought everybody down to earth, even the angels.”—Leonard Cohen, songwriter
"well, that's just the way it is..."
sometimes when everything seems at
its worst
when all conspires
and gnaws
and the hours, days, weeks
years
seem wasted--
stretched there upon my bed
in the dark
looking upward at the ceiling
I get what many will consider an
obnoxious thought:
it's still nice to be
Bukowski.
