etwewet: You can clearly tell that only die hard fans are writing the reviews. Very overrated collection of writings. Just a diary of a cranky old man. I don’t see amazing literature here personally. It’s a read I guess. Something to pass the time.

Andy: Beautiful, like reading the thoughts of a grumpy old distant uncle you’ve hardly spent any time with. I would read this again and again and even... again.
Just read it and you’ll love it.

Serious Reviews: This is definitely one of Bukowski's better works. You cannot go wrong picking this up if you are just starting to get into Bukowski, but I would personally recommend one of his other works such as Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame.

Wade R Johnston: If you enjoy his novels, you will enjoy these poems. Hitting on many of the themes in his other writings, these poems, seasoned by a look back at a life mostly behind him, permit the reader a sense for the wisdom of a man who lived a life remarkable for its down-to-earthness. The author reflects upon his own joys and shortcomings and, at the same time, makes it difficult for readers not to consider their own in a more honest fashion.

john m.: I never thought I'd give five stars to a book of poems. I don't dig poetry very much. I can read 150 poems and maybe like and relate to one or two of them a little bit. This is something very different. I've gone through less than half of this book but close to half, maybe over 100 poems and maybe 4 of them didn't floor me. I've always wanted to "get" poetry and finally I can say I dig/get it, but just this one guy can talk to me about the hell I see every time I open my eyes and force my feet to the floor and know I have to face another day of the ugly reality called humanity or kill myself (that takes guts) I've taken a lot of solace here in this book of poems and I know as long as I'm still here I'll be reading this again and again. I'm going to buy all his other books of poems now. Then I'll have a future of sorts.

Dr. Alexander Gruber: I'm not a poetry fanatic, but I'm trying to get into it. This was one of two books by Bukowski that I bought to do so (the other being You Get So Alone at Times That It Just Makes Sense ). I found both very enjoyable and have moved on to read some of his other works since then. These were the first enjoyable books of poetry I'd read in my life. I would recommend them for anyone who is trying to get into poetry as a hobby, especially if (like me) you are not an English major or aspiring poet, and thus are more able to take these for what they are, rather than evaluate their literary merit from established standards. In other words, I connected with this book on a personal level, not an academic level, and I encourage you to read it if you would like to do so too.
