Henry Charles Bukowski

"I am not a very pleasant person - anyone will tell you that. I don't even know such a word. I have always admired scoundrels, robbers, sons of bitches... ...I also like fallen women, swearing drunken bitches with sagging stockings and painted faces..." (c) Charles Bukowski

A poet of the American underclass, physical labor, alcohol, and available women. Having spent over 50 years in unending drunkenness, wandering the country like a vagabond, trading one useless job for another, and engaging in casual sexual relationships, he left behind more than 40 books filled with life's truths and base realities.
