What is Yea Forums's opinion on Bukowski's style? Personally I enjoyed his straightforward prose and I don't have any regrets after reading his works. Would you rather have someone who beats around the bush but shows off his dictionary or a writer of his caliber, who cares little for his words as long as he gets things done?

You don't have to like him as a person man, Oscar Wilde was a manwhore but his works have nothing to do with his private life. You've got to set the person apart from the artist.

Always felt like a more relatable Hemingway. Sort of reminds me of my boomer father.
Benjamin Hernandez
But the problem with that is bukowskis work is shit too.
>but s-some of his poems
No all of it is shit.
Andrew Peterson
>straightforward prose
He is and you shouldn't expect more than that, I personally like his philosophy on his interviews more than his writing
Jaxon Campbell
It seriously lacks beauty but other than that it is very effective at what he sets out to do.

Babby's first lit.
Once you've read post office, throw it away and begin your journey in literature.
Also, avoid his "poetry"
Jacob Sullivan
you'll find only haters of Bukowski here user.
not me though.
I appreciate his work as a decent window into what Los Angeles was like in the past.
Brandon Green
If you have read his stuff, know a little about his life and arent completely stupid, you will be able to appreciate what he did.
Sebastian Gonzalez
I personally like Bukowski it's just Yea Forums dislikes him because he's exceptionally easy to read
Justin Richardson
This is the only good thread on lit right now
Eli Fisher
he did the same shit rupi kapur does now except he drank and said fuck. He sold shitty poetry to dumb pseuds.

only brainlets don't appreciate bukowski
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
otherwise, don’t even start.
if you’re going to try, go all the
way.
this could mean losing girlfriends,
wives, relatives, jobs and
maybe your mind.
go all the way.
it could mean not eating for 3 or 4 days.
it could mean freezing on a
park bench.
it could mean jail,
it could mean derision,
mockery,
isolation.
isolation is the gift,
all the others are a test of your
endurance, of
how much you really want to
do it.
and you’ll do it
despite rejection and the worst odds
and it will be better than
anything else
you can imagine.
if you’re going to try,
go all the way.
there is no other feeling like
that.
you will be alone with the gods
and the nights will flame with
fire.
do it, do it, do it.
do it.
all the way
all the way.
you will ride life straight to
perfect laughter, its
the only good fight
there is.

Yea but his works are also about that.

This. An intellectual says a simple thing in a hard way. An artist says a hard thing in a simple way. I find his work genuinely moving.

There's nothing wrong with valuing beauty. I don't think it's fair to accuse other writers of "beating around the bush" when they just have different goals
Cameron Martinez
I’m not a fan of Bukowski but you’re definitely underselling his poetry.
Asher Campbell
Yes.
