Love is a Dog From Hell

Product Information

Whether you're male or female, it's all your teenage self hadn't been told about love. You had to find out by yourself. It's the pleasure flowing through your body during intercourse; the pain echoing in your bedroom (and in your heart) after another unhappy relationship; the regrets, the self-contempt, your face ageing day by day, the scent on your pillow - the last fading traces of someone who still found you desirable... Henry Charles Bukowski (August 16, 1920, Andernach, Germany - March 9, 1994, San Pedro Peninsula Hospital) was a German-American poet, novelist, and short story writer. His writing was influenced by the social, cultural, and economic ambience of his home city of Los Angeles.

Bukowski, the poet that not even translation betrays him, this is how I found Bukowski. An amazing poet that has rich soiled land in which he can plow however he wants according to his rich dictionary, and its enormous space yields him great production, even though some of his writings words isn't taken from old English but rather from modern English or papers English, and he intentionally do so, so he chooses easier words and rather pour his focus on the poetic image.

This is what these poems talk about. Dirt. Trivial and spiritual dirt. And the monstruous horrible Beauty that rises from the dirt like a drunk Phoenix: Sandra is the slim tall ear-ringed bedroom damsel dressed in a long gown she s always high in heels spirit pills booze Sandra leans out of her chair leans toward Glendale I wait for her head to hit the closet doorknob as she attempts to light a new cigarette on an almost burnt-out one at 32 she likes young neat unscratched boys with faces like the bottoms of new saucers she has proclaimed as much to me has brought her prizes over for me to view: silent blonde zeros of young flesh who a) sit b) stand c) talk at her command sometimes she brings one sometimes two sometimes three for me to view Sandra looks very good in long gowns Sandra could probably break a man s heart I hope she finds one. Not all is lost, as there are a few gems sprinkled in. Most of these occur later in the collection, where Bukowski turns an eye to self-reflection and his eventual death. I particularly liked “An Unkind Poem,” “What They Want,” “Soul,” “The Crunch,” and the surprisingly good “Bedpans.” We get some interesting and relatable results when his melancholia and cynicism and loneliness shine through, but these poems are very few and far between, having been lost in the unwieldy mass of the selfsame sexist chauvinism.

Love Is a Dog from Hell

I ve seen too many glazed-eyed bums sitting under a bridge drinking cheap wine you sit on the couch with me tonight new woman. have you seen the animal-eater documentaries? they show death. and now I wonder which animal of us will eat the other first physically and last spiritually? we consume animals and then one of us consumes the other, my love. meanwhile I d prefer you go first the first way since if past performance charts mean anything I ll surely go first the last way.

A classic in the Bukowski canon, Love Is a Dog from Hell is a raw, lyrical, exploration of the exigencies, heartbreaks, and limits of love.Bukowski had his own technique in books that his poetics impacted his narratives that his novels seemed poetic deepened in good narration far from any trace of a plot, in return, novels, the dialogue mode, and the multi personality in poetic texts has given him another dimension even though that's not innovative in poetry but it was one of his poetic marks. The loneliness that's caused by marginalization has remained for many years between him and America's critics, that they didn't even count him to any group that thrives with literaturic life not to mention he was independent except of himself; so he distend himself from any institutionalized or governmental representation and rather remained loyal to the proletariat oppressed class.

Love is kind of like when you see a fog in the morning when you wake up before the sun comes out.

I need a good woman. I need a good woman more than I need this typewriter, more than I need my automobile, more than I need Mozart; I need a good woman so badly that I can taste her in the air, I can feel her at my fingertips, I can see sidewalks built for her feet to walk upon, I can see pillows for her head, I can feel my waiting laughter, I can see her petting a cat, I can see her sleeping, I can see her slippers on the floor. I know that she exists but where is she upon this earth as the whores keep finding me?This collection of Poems from the '70s depicts the author's experiences about Love, heartbreaks, loss, women, society and all the struggling experiences that an individual faces upon. A dog, in this case, represents all the raw emotions and crazy adventures that we perceive as love. The tribulations of life are like flames, we try to run but we can't escape them. It's all this and much more that Bukowski shares to the reader... And talking about Stangenberg, “Love is a Dog from Hell” is a true triumph for her, as Khavn asked everything from her, and she delivered in the most impressive fashion. Apart from singing, dancing, and sawing pigs, Orphea also crawls in the mud, vomits, climbs trees, plays with kids in punk haircuts courtesy of Khavn, fakeplays a guitar, walks all over the place in her heels and red cape, and in general, does it all, in a truly hard-working performance that embodies the style of the whole production perfectly. the 2nd novel they d come around and they d ask you finished your 2nd novel yet? no. whatsamatta? whatsamatta that you can t finish it? hemorrhoids and insomnia. maybe you ve lost it? lost what? you know. now when they come around I tell them, yeh.
