Don't blame Bukowski for bad poetry
Tony O'Neill
September 5, 2007 8:15 AM



"Everybody hates us, and we don't care" was an infamous chant that originated on the terraces of Millwall football club. But it is a sentiment that I sometimes feel could just as easily be applied to fans of Charles Bukowski.


With the release of Bukowski's fifth posthumous poetry collection, The People Look Like Flowers At Last (Ecco), now seems as good a time as any for a consideration of Bukowski's work and worth.
