Charles Bukowski, for those who have been living the life of Zarathustra and have only now decided to emerge from their caves, is probably one of America’s most famous contemporary writers of poetry and prose. He was also among the world’s more prolific writers, so much so that original works are still being published today, thirteen years after his death. The People Look Like Flowers At Last, the most recent of these publications and the last in a series of five poetry collections being released by Ecco, will be the subject of discussion here, or rather, debate.
